China Southern Flying College Jandakot
ABC news reporting that China Southern Flying College has gone into voluntary liquidation.

Yes, about a week ago
|
Yea, we were told last monday.
What a great Christmas present! /s |
Instructed there in 1997 under Morris Tilak - what a legend he was.
Anyone know what Morris is up to now? I had some great students, and some great dunces. Sad news, in sad times. |
The ABC article had a few inaccuracies but did say they were looking at ways to finish the training for 48 remaining students, so that would be an opportunity for somewhere?
roypilot AFAIK Morris is still around and doing flight tests. a legend for sure. |
That is not good news for the other schools in Australia teaching China Southern cadets.

as for what CSA will do long term, who knows?? Morris is still around, doing flight tests. He was doing Multi, IFR and CPLs for CSWAFC. |
Here is a link to the ABC article.
It will be interesting to see what happens long term in relation to Merredin airport. |
Aye Dick,
Perhaps the liquidators could see their way 'clear' to sell it back to the shire for the princely sum of....$1, and so it remains a vital piece of infrastructure to the local wheatbelt / community...?? Its not like it can be 'packed up' and sent to China..?? 'Tell 'im 'e's dreamin'....... Ah well.....just a thort....... p.s. Thanx again for the............ |

Morris is still active at Air Australia, took a check ride with him last week.

I was told the sad news a couple of days ago that Morris Tilak has passed away.
I will post funeral details when I get them. :( |
That is very sad news, he must have been quite old, I bet he probably could still wield an aircraft to levels of precision I could only dream of right up to the end.

What a wealth of knowledge he takes with him, one of the old school. |

He was my Instructor at Australian International Flying College, 93-94. A true legend. RIP Sir.

Very sad news. A very knowledgeable and passionate instructor/ examiner. I did a lot flight tests with Morris over the years. I did my MEAI test with him in 2019. I will forever be impressed at how a man of his stature and age could hold the nose of a Seminole dead straight all the way down to Vmca. RIP Morris
