Bacchus Marsh Airfield

[Peiler]

Hey there to all those knowledgeable types...

 

I am trying to find a flying school on the west side of melbourne, preferably for RA. I have had a look at Point Cook which looks like it is starting up GA training shortly, but... does anyone know much about training at Bacchus Marsh?

 

So they train in RA? Any good/bad reports or views?

 

Cheers,

 

Chris

Perhaps PM Ian, I'm fairly certain he flies out of Bacchus Marsh :)

As far as I know, TVSA is the only school with powered aeroplanes at Bacchus. I am sure that others will offer suggestions on RAA options out west.

Thanks Dark & DJP.

 

I had a look at the TVSA website who appear to be GA only. So I am open to any other thoughts/ideas out there!

Hi Chris,

 

Penfield Airfield just north of Sunbury teaches RA. Check out

 

Learn to fly at Airsports Flying School, Melbourne, Australia

 

...and give Terry or Rod a call. They will be very happy to give you details and start you off on getting your RA-Aus licence.

 

Cheers

I'll get in touch with them and get stuck in.

Hi Chris,

 

Penfield is close to Melbourne, Bacchus Marsh only does GA, or a bit further to the west is Ballarat,either the aeroclub or Inbound Aviation, closer to Geelong is Lethbridge. Plenty of choices out here.
