Adam_H Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I'm looking at doing a theory course which is run over 1 day a week for 9 weeks, each lesson is 4 and a half hours and the exams that get completed are: pre-solo exam, pre-area solo exam and basic aeronautical knowledge exam. It comes at a cost of $800 for the whole 9 weeks. To me it sounds like a good deal, just wanted to get some thoughts from you guys as to whether it is worth it etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishla Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 If you want to learn in a classroom then $20 an hour is good value for a professionals time. However I found a text book and the free tutorials on this site was all that I needed for RAAus theory. With a few questions to my instructor along the way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you organize through another governing body or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you RAAus or RPL? I believe the syllabus is very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I will be going for my RPL and then PPL pretty well straight after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishla Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 No worries. You're doing an RPL then. What are you learning in? RAAus is the organisation which handles the registration and training for ultralights (also called LSA - light sport aircraft). It's kind of the competition to an RPL and it sounds like it's loosing the battle! You'll learn about the regulations soon enough as part of your theory... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright I see, I googled and saw their website but wasn't sure. I'm learning in an old Cessna C150, think it's a mid 70's model haha Yeah well they have a bit of a learning package with all the theory information and a plane information book as well that I'll have to buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam_H Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 Warnervale? That's the one! Haha seems to be a pretty cool set up there and when I make the move to buy a plane it'd be an old 182 I'm thinking, so kind of prefer learning in an older model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
