flying in OZ
 

I am a fairly low hours PPL 120 + .I have just been in Sydney for a few days,what with jet lag etc.I was awake early on Sunday morning.Found an advert for Bankstown airport,took a train out there,and found
an excellent and very friendly:) flying club on Tower Rd.
Very soon I was fixed up with a PA28 a flying instructor,filed a flt plan
for the Harbour Bridge and off we went.I had a wonderful 90 mins a tour
over and around the city,with an excellent instructor.The views were
amazing,I had a great lesson in Aussi procedures,all for £120 inc landing
fees,fuel surcharge.and my log stamped.
So if you ,get the chance do it,dont forget your licence and log

That sounds good Sam, did you take any pictures at all?

Schoeies or Whitworth?

Hey,

I`m going to Sydney later in the year. And have been in touch with a few hirers at Bankstown. Can you tell me who you used?

Also did you get a SPL or a cert of validation to excercise you PPL privileges??

A few years back I rented a TB20 from Basair at Bankstown and went up the east coast as far as Townsville.
A great trip but if you are thinking of going that far then you need to adress the issue of staying alive and being found if you have a forced landing, untill you have flown in Australia you won't understand just how big the place is and how few people live away from the coastal strip.
