Anyone had any experience with ATA recreational flying school?

Hey,

 

Well fingers crossed I will hopefully be heading up to Townsville later in the year for an interview for medicine at uni next year. From a quick google this ATA school seems to be the only one doing 3-axis training near Townsville. Has anyone had any experience with them? What aircraft do they operate?

 

I'm thinking if I do end up heading up there I might do a TIF with them. For one it would be good to get over the stresses of the interview, and for two if I get accepted to uni then I will be spending 6 years up there so no doubt will have to continue some lessons with some school there as I won't have the hours to get my certificate before February next year. (Would clearly prefer RAA over going GA at this very early and money-lacking stage).

 

Thanks.

Find out their average RAA course completion times - is it 20, 30 or 35 hrs +? Talk to current and previous students. Check out the condition of their aircraft.
