I think the editing confused me; I agree on re-viewing that it's not totally clear. Or naybe he has dual radios and is on both frequencies at once.

Not sure you're right about that. You can clearly hear an incoming call saying "Turning base, three four" which can only be Hoxton, certainly not Bankstown. The pilot would definitely have been making the right calls, so maybe just not audible to the camera, or else it was just a mistake the editor made.

Why not try Pacific Flight Services. There's lots of place you can go, all about the same price as far as I know. I'd steer way from the big schools, though, because they're just too big to be friendly. But the guys at PFS are friendly and really approachable and they know you want to enjoy it, so...Ask for Nige...or just google TIFs and see what you find.

hey guys just wondering where is the most value for money place near Sydney to do a trial instructional flight?

Um, this guy is still on the Bankstown Tower frequency when doing the touch and go at Hoxton Park, where he should be on the CTAF frequency and making appropriate CTAF radio calls... bad, bad, bad.

I'm sure Basair is competent. An Instructor who used to work at Basair told me they disliked working there because of the atmosphere. I wouldn't want to be trained by an unhappy instructor. Ring around a few of the other schools. Compare their trainig rates and what extras you have to pay for (they can add up). Go and visit them, talk to their instructors. Get a feel for the school and then choose. You can always change later if you don't like your first choice.

Pacific Flight Services will be enrolling international students from May 2008. PFS is easily the most student-friendly of all the schools I know, without compromising standards at all. Give them a ring. The impression I get (maybe wrong) is that the other international schools just churn the students through - big and impersonal.

I made the first comment a while ago. I learn to fly as a hobby, after I got my PPL I choose to spend on travel/shares/property and for family reasons so I stopped. No offence to the flying schools in YSBK (although some of the are really bad) but I think GA airports should not be built near populated areas. |
