shags_j Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Hi All, I have to go to Melbourne for ATC assessment day on 24th Jan. Since I have to be in Canberra on the 26th thought I might make the most of the trip and spend the 25th flying. Does anyone know if there are schools either in Canberra or Melbourne where I could get checked out in a Tecnam then take it for a trot? Or does anyone have any other suggestions on how I could spend my time flying? Cheers, Shags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanm Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 G'Day Best bet is probably an airfield like Lillydale, I think they have a Tecnam available. Good luck with the ATC assessment!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerin Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Hi Shags, Coldstream airfield has a Teccie Echo Super. Lilydale airport only has Jab 160s. Both of these airports are on the NE edge of Melbourne near the Yarra valley. I've never flown there, but I would bet it would be beautiful scenery around the Yarra valley. There are no Canberra RAAus airfields. Closest I think are Goulburn or Tumut. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shags_j Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Really no airfields at all in Canberra for RA? That's quite sad. Thanks for the best wishes and I will check out Coldstream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I believe Lilydale has a Savannah too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz3g Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I believe Lilydale has a Savannah too? Not that I've heard, Tomo. Dick Gower is CFI at Coldstream and has more than 12000 hours instructing in both GA and RA aircraft. kaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Not that I've heard, Tomo. I think it's cross hired to the school... well that's what I was told a while back when I dropped the owner to a Motel for the night as he was ferrying it down. Nice blue one. Someone know about it? It would be a great little machine to get checked out on - they are nice to fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
