| Subject: | Aviation Resources Down Under |
Hello Everyone,
It=B9s been a bit quiet, so I hope that you won=B9t mind an off topic question
of those in Australia. I=B9m about to start flying in Melbourne, and wonder i
f
anyone can give me:
* A good list of URLs for aviation resources in Victoria
* Any local email lists
* A suggestion for an FBO to obtain a command instrument rating with a glas
s
cockpit.
That last bit seems like it may be a bit tough. I found plenty of aircraft
in the USA (new Cessna=B9s mainly) in the training fleet, but as far as I can
tell, not too many down here.
Any pointers, hints or suggestions on getting started down here would be
greatly appreciated.
Regards,
- Steve

Steve,
A good start would be the www.aeroclub.com.au
<http://www.aeroclub.com.au/>
, and the casa site, www.casa.gov.au <http://www.casa.gov.au/>
I will forward your request to my associate Michael Pont in Sydney. He
may
have a few more suggestions.
What takes you flying down under in OZ?
Steve Gilson

Migration. I just moved to Australia, and want to pick up flying again down
here. I figure a good way to do that is to get an IFR rating; that should b
e
a good way to learn the system.

Steve,
It certainly would, and it ain't much like US. Where are you in Australia.

Bill,
Yes, lot=B9s of empty space over here. I suppose that=B9s the reason for the
differences, amongst others, for the night VFR rules. I=B9ve just got the
Aviation Theory Centre Air Law book to study up for the conversion.
I=B9m in Melbourne, but without a car. That=B9s proving to make things a bit
difficult as far as travel to the airports. I was hoping to avoid buying a
car for a while, since I live within walking distance of the CBD.
I=B9ve been =8Csurfing=B9 the web most of this morning, and stumbled across the
AOPA Australia site. My American membership number seems to have gotten me
in (surprise), but the forums there aren=B9t too active. Aeroclub.com.au seem
s
to have a lot of information, but it=B9s also a lot of work to extract it.
What I=B9m really looking for is some community resources and, hopefully, a
way to find some newer model aircraft. Many of the flight schools in the US
A
have upgraded the fleet, and you can almost always find a G1000 panel to
fly. They seem scarce down here (I found only one =8B in NSW at the Cessna
Centre). I was hoping to get the IFR rating on the G1000 (or a Chelton ;-),
but that might not be realistic. I might have to look at buying into a
partnership.
Cheers,
- Steve
