The problem is RAA instructors are few and far between, with time poor and cash rich students RAA schools need to get there acts together

In Au we dont need to follow FAA part 103, our 95.10 is 300kgs or 660lbs gross makes part FAA103 254lbs empty weight rather pointless with our 95.10 ??

18 volt 2 amp hour $18 lithium battery pack from ALDI used to repack old Icom Nicad battery, 3x3.6 volt lithium-Iron cells fits in the original Icom battery pack, 2 years later still works a treat

Australian airlines really have the pick of the crop to hire as junior aircrews , ATPL theory with bachelor and diploma degrees from academies or ex ADF aviators, with out either how does a bare bones CPL actually get to advance ?? -

Im sure regional shires with a aerodrome would love to get a slice of the business makes good sense for ab initio training, like a converted shed donger for class room and dozen Tecnam P92 would churn through 300 students per year with lots of landing & traffic fees ?? I can see some small RAA GA schools do deals with the larger training schools to offer ab initio training roles & tasks -
