Zordah Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Hey all, I've recently acquired an interest to learn to fly (yes I'm so new I haven't even piloted anything yet) and found my way to this forum. I'm 42 so probably too old for a commercial licence but interested in flying friends and family around on a private licence. Any tips on some good learn to fly schools in the Brisbane area?

Guest aviatrix27 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Welcome! I'm in Vic so can't recommend any flying schools in your area, but daresay there will be someone who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zordah Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 Had my first lesson this morning at Gil Layt's in Archerfield. It was AWESOME! I think I am hooked now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aviatrix27 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 :biggrin: I'm guessing the 2nd one is a more accurate picture of you. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 G'day Zordah, welcome. Don't forget to take a trip to Darling Downs Soaring Club near Jondaryan, W of Toowoomba. Gliding experience and soaring, weather flying skills will have a positive effect on your power flying skills too - and you never know you might get hooked there too...

Zordah Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 Hi Everyone, I'm on my way towards my private license and recently got into learning Wordpress so I thought I would put together a blog on my journey to learn to fly. http://www.learningtoflyinaustralia.com/ Hopefully you don't mind me posting a link to it here but I would like some feedback if anyone is interested. If not, it's OK, I just felt like sharing... So far I'm up to doing circuits so I'm pretty new but enjoying it immensely Still seems like a loooong way to go to get my private license.
