Redcliffe flying

I fly from there.

 

It's a nice very flat tar strip. There are two RA Aus training schools and the flying club for GA. Quite a few aircraft repair and helicopter businesses there. Not very busy though, so it's a good place to learn.

 

You can hire a Sportstar from Freeflying Australia which is what I do, and I know the flying school has a GA Tecnam.

 

You can get to Moreton and Stradbroke Islands, and up north is all VFR. To go South you go via TV Towers, which is a non controlled strip under 1500 between Archerfield and Amberly.

 

Circuits out over the sea, and you have Caboolture and Caloundra right near you.

 

Pretty good spot. Can have a cross wind, being by the sea.

Yeah, you'll get really good at crosswind landings... But it is a nice strip.
