[Guest Dick Gower]

Just discovered this site.

 

Have started a GA and RA combined flying school for the Royal Victorian Aero Club at Coldstream Airprot in Melbourne's Yarra Valley.

 

Been instructing for 35 years or so and own a Chipmunk VH-DCZ.

 

We have just bought a new Tecnam P92 and have another on line.

 

Also the usual GA Warriors available.

 

Seven instructor trainees (both GA and RA) at the moment.

Hi Dick

 

You forgot to say "beautiful" when introducing your Chippie!

 

For anyone looking to fly from a friendly airfield near Melbourne, Coldstream is a great choice (no landing fees).

 

The RA stuff has really taken off (yes, I know...) a situation that is no doubt a sign of the times and Dick is a bit of a legend when it comes to instructing whether right way up or upside down.

 

If you are calling in, PPR (a phone call) is required so you can get the gen on local procedures. See ERSA for more details.

G'day Dick, and welcome.

 

A lot of MAF pilots get trained down there at Coldstream, would you be one of the instructors who have done that?
