Training in Australia

[Peto]

Response to FP_Ace

Just wanted to clarify one point from your post. The Western Australian Aviation College is fully approved by the U.K. CAA to offer JAR Integrated Aeroplane training (the only school in Australia to hold such approval). The course is 60 weeks long with the majority being completed in Australia and the last flying component (multi IR) and MCC component completed in the U.K. THERE IS NO CONVERSION PROCESS REQUIRED AFTER THIS COURSE. After successful completion if the IR skills test at the end of course you qualify for issue of a JAR licence.

Hour building in Australia

Hi All,

I'm heading down under around mid Oct for 4 weeks of hour building - after finishing the ATPLs . Any of my fellow prunners going to be in the area (Perth) during that time? Would be good to meet up for some flying.

Has anyone already completed hour building in Oz? What were your experiances compared to flying in UK/Europe.

Thanks for any info.

Please whatever you do...do not go to Australian Wings Academy

The school fills you with lies...AWA is self distructing...all they care about is Air Asia cadets..if your not one of them they couldnt care less..however they do when it comes to paying them!

Who do you think is going to get priority when you want to book a flight? you (self funded individual, or an air asia cadet)...i'll leave that one up to you!

Air asia students are already 3 months behind schedule (despite the weather thats been happening) The school has never heard of the word "organize"

Also since I started flying there I have seen more than 15 instructors leave (most of them fired or got fed up with the school nonsense it creates) The school is on the brink of collapsing as the air asia contract will certainly been cancelled before the end of the year. Once that happens there will be very few people left as most of the self funded students have left as a result of the schools inability to book flights, and lacking customer satifisfation!

Karma is a b****! Please dont make the same mistake we (ex awa students have!). Anymore questions let me know
