Hi all,I'm a current airline pilot thinking about joining the RA ranks and have the following questions.
1. Has anyone done any training or flown at Freeflying / Adventure Flights at Redcliffe, Redcliffe Flight Training or Freeflying Caloundra? If so any comments good or bad about the schools and the aircraft types used?
2. Reading the RA-AUS ops manual because I have prior flying hours I only need 5 hours in RA aircraft or GA aircraft that could be RA registered. So if I was to do 5 hours in a Tecnam on the VH register (both Redcliffe Aeroclub and Redcliffe Flight training have Tecnam's VH registered) what additional training would I need to qualify for the RA pilot certificate?
3. Would all my ATPL privileges ie pax carrying, cross country etc automatically carry over to the RA pilot certificate?
4. I hold an expired Grade 2 instructor rating, with around 800 hours as an instructor mostly in C152's and PA38's. I've also held CASA check and training approval on turboprops and currently a training captain on jets. What training would be required to gain an RA Instructor rating?
5. Any recommendations for other schools on the north side of Brisbane or the Sunshine Coast?
Thanks in advance

Hi there.......as previously mentioned.....go see the guys at Gofly.......they are at Redcliffe as well as Caloundra. Great aircraft and a really good bunch of straight shooting guys who treat you like a human not a dollar sign.
