Does anyone know about the time when GYFTS is released?

[HeadInTheClouds]

Hi there,

 

I Have applied for GYFTS and was just wondering if anyone knows when the results will be released, or historically around what date are they released? I emailed RAAus but got no reply.

 

Thanks!

G'day Jake, I'm not sure who is looking after this now, Dr Carrol Richards used to, but she isn't there anymore.

 

Might be easier just to ring RA-Aus, that way you get an answer right away, I haven't had much luck with email to RAA in the past.

Called them today and they don't come out until near Easter apparently....

 

I'm starting to feel like I need to go flying again... Haven't been up since the 13th of January this year :( Just started uni so I barely have any time and I also don't have a job anymore so it's very hard.

 

Also there is no RAA school in Armidale (Where I now live) so GA is the only option (Expensive). I went for a drive over to the airport the other day and couldn't even see any Numbers registered aircraft around the place, some interesting looking Agricultural types though.

 

I think I will have just bite the expensive GA bullet and do a couple of hours sometime in a Warrior at the GA school here, mainly to keep kind of current but also I need to do something fun rather than the excessive amount of study I need to do with my degree.....

Does GYFTS enable you to undertake GA training or is it RAA only (I would have pressumed the later) If so how does that help in your current circumstances.....

P.S what degree are you doing at Armidale....

It's RAA only, will work by doing large blocks of training in holidays and ducking home for a weekend every now and then. It's good for a year from when you first get it too so plenty of time over the Christmas/new year period.

 

And I'm doing a Bachelor of Medicine here.

Maybe you can talk mr jellife (sp?) into doing a cross country into armidale with another student, taking you for a lesson while they plan the next leg on the ground and then taking the other student back via X...... Is there a flying club at the Uni?

That could be possible...

No flying club at the uni.... Yet.. I might try and start one though!!
