    Flightscope have a lovely Aquila A210 which is a joy to fly, Also Cessna 172/182. And if you want to build hours in Ra Aus they run 3 Eurofox.

    Welcome B3rn , I recently was in the same position of having my Gfpt before having a small break from flying due to kids , career etc. I have only just now converted it to an Rpl then PPL. I only intend to fly privately. I highly recommend you speak with Rod at Flightscope Aviation at YBAF, He is a fantastic instructor and was very patient with me!

      I did RAAus pilot certificate with Pathfinder and did most of the GA flights for the RPL with them also in conjunction with Flight One.

    thanks mate, As for the test I was expecting everything my only advice is just make sure you Always In front of the aircraft with ground speed checks and planning descents. Also expect your diversions I already had my gfpt when I started with ra aus so I had the solo time up after my first solo nav and he signed me off for pax at the same time. Where abouts are you flying from?

    Well after a few false starts I finally achieved my dream of getting my x country exam yesterday in the trusty j160. Our trip took us from ybaf-ycas-yspe with a diversion and air work along the way. I can now look forward to seeing some of the country side! My flying school pathfinder aviation is getting a new cessna 162 and piper sport which should a bit of fun to fly Now time to start planning my next nav! Cheers jordan.

    Hi guys , Following from this thread I received my cross country cert yesterday and plan to do some sight seeing the other half. What would you recommend visiting given that it would be my very first cross country flight with the other half and don't want to push it too early on! My Instructor mentioned tyagarah stip with easy access to Byron. I will be flying from Archerfield

    Hi Bigfella, I can relate to your situation, i had passed my gfpt in september last year and realised there was no point going all the way with a ppl if i didnt intend to use the privlages that comes with it. i have started flying a j170 out of archerfield and loving every minute of it, currently i have 1 more nav until my cross country test.

    Thanks guys. I decided to venture to caboolture today to check out go fly. Silly me didn't realise go fly doesn't have a manned office! So I didn't get s chance to meet anyone however I spoke to Neil and he seemed great. On the way back home I popped into pathfinder aviation and they were very well set up. This suits me flying ra out of archerfield too Anyway booked next Wednesday morning to have a go at the j170d. Will let you all know how it goes. Thanks

    Thanks for the replies guys. Being a left handed myself the only concern was flying a jab right handed! After all I spose it would be something I could get used too. From all reports go fly caboolture seems to be the pick. Has anyone delt with pathfinder aviation as they are closed at ybaf. Tomo I don't believe vh kjr is online anymore and their only g1000 172 is always in hot demand. Cheers

    Thanks for the into, thats good to know, i think i am best to head over to a few schools and pick their brains!

    Hi Guys, I am currently a PPL student based at Ybaf and always had the intention of going all the way to CPL. I have now realised with my current job that all i want to do is fly for fun, private use, aircraft ownership down the track. Most of my flying to date has been on the pa38 and G1000 172, The issue i have is that the flight school i go to only have the 1 aircaft and with my busy job its impossible to get in with less than 2 weeks notice. Ra appeals to me with the newer modern aircraft without all the hassells of Ga licencing etc, at the end of the day most of my flying will be cross country, flying outside cta doesnt bother me at all. I have been a member on here for a while now and seem quite interested on what Ra has to offer me. I am hoping to get some advice on Ra schools, Currently at archerfield Patherfinder aviation seems to be the only place however the jabiru doesnt impress me with the centre control yoke, maybe i would get used to it but at this stage this has put me off. Another flight school "Go Fly Aviation " seems to have good reviews with a mix of aircraft (P92 Texans) and instructors. At this stage most schools in brisbane/Caboolture charge $235 P/hr dual Can anyone give me some advice going to Ra from Ga? Thanks!

    Started at 22 gained ppl at 24, have not flown in a few months, realised i am better off flying for fun/private so now looking at Ra schools in brisbane to do conversion

    trust me once the rush kicks in, everything is by the book in what you have learn, just remember you wont be sent solo until the instructor is confident in your ability!

    as a student pilot working through ppl, the boomerang has been a easy basic trainer for me. the one thing i can compare against the pa38 is the boomer is very nose heavy and performance is a issue on hot days. that said its also more reasuring flying a newer plane compared to a 30yo tommahawk.

    Iam doing my training with Flight One, they have been great!
