Try Aussie
 

Try Australia - lots of Europeans are.....

Long time to get there but @ 3 x A$ to the pound + cheap lifestyle (except Sydney).

Great Weather & great scenery.

Capt. Touchdown.

Yes please, I’d most certainly be interested (currently half way through the PPL & looking to start hours building sometime in the autumn). Living in Basildon – but OK apart from that – and happy to travel.

There’s no chance of cheap hours in a A320 sim is there? :D

Oz my friend.
 

While it may cost a bit more to get to Australia, I recommend you head to Perth, Western Oz and fly out of Jandakot. Better weather than Florida.

Here are some typical prices you can expect. I have used a quite mean exchange rate of £1=Aus$2.7

C152 $117=£43
C172 $133=£49
Mooney 201 $161=£57

And the best bits:

Seminole $264=£98
Partenavia 'as above'
C310 $388=£144.

MAX:cool:

Hour Building
 

Hi

I just returned from a flying school in Florida from a trip out their.

Originally I went over their to hour build in a PA28 Arrow.

However when I arrived I found problems with that school, instructors, complex aircraft I wanted to use and general professionalism with the school and airfield. For example I met people who trained their for their JAA PPL and I didnt think their training was that great and RT was terrible. Infact I asked the question about circuit calls, i.e downwind etc to an instructor and he told me you only use them if the tower ask you to.

So I decided not to use that school and had a few days off on holiday instead.

I am considering building my hours in new zealand and here in the U.K. At the moment I am looking to find a half decent plane to fly here in West Sussex where I live and am contacting different private groups.

If anyone has a plane they want to let someone fly, let me know. My email address is [email protected] and mobile 07786 390901.

Cheers

Sean
