[Guest Craig1]

HI,

 

I'm keen to get started learning my recreational flying licence.. im not sure if there are any schools near mt ommaney. i had a quick look at archerfield airport but it seems like commercial pilots go there.. is there anywhere someone could recommend???

 

and are there any tips for learning to fly quickly ??

G'day mate,

 

good to see you're keen to get flying!

 

You should pop out to Boonah and meet the guys at "Airsport Queensland" www.airsportqld.com

 

One of the best flying schools in the country, great place to learn to fly with people who really enjoy flying. They have Tecnams, - low wing Golf, High wing Echo and brand new Eaglet, they've also got a Savage cub taildragger and a Strut Braced Drifter and really great instructors. Boonah is an hours drive from Brisbane and an awesome area to fly in.

 

Doing your training quickly is great but it's also not something you want to rush, however the most effective way of learning is to do a full time course where you fly almost every day, it is a great way to progress faster than the average and therefore more cost effective too, also, really getting into the theory and being enthusiastic about the whole thing will show in your training progress.

 

Once you get your pilot certificate, that's when you really start learning!!!

 

Hope this has been a help, and good luck to you wherever you end up flying!
