I'm very happy with it and will be voting for the change. I think it is well written as it keeps things simple and easy to understand. I appreciate that there are people out there who are working hard so that I can fly in a safe, fun and affordable environment.
Unlike kasper, I'm more than happy to receive communication by electronic means if it helps increase efficiency and keep costs down without impacting safety. I'm also happy to be required to (I do anyway) periodically check communication channels because;
1. I'm interested in my personal safety and that of my passengers,
2. I'm interested in all things aviation and want to keep up to date with whats going on in aviation, and
3. as a member who pays an annual fee to RAAus, has been provided a pilot certificate by RAAus and flies aircraft registered by RAAus, I want to know about any issues that could affect those things.

So what is the status of RAA flying schools today and how are the costs raising for dual training.

I don't know about over time because I grew up in a family that owned planes so I never really had to hire one and then the military paid for the rest of my flying. But, by looking at the Recreational Flying Co.'s (Gympie QLD) prices it costs the same for their Drifter or their Foxbat ($150 private hire), which is slightly less than the Tecnam that I'm flying at the moment ($165), which is slightly less again than the PiperSport at the Sunshine Coast ($175). So I think the difference is fairly minimal between the traditional and modern types.
