I learnt in a Ikarus C42 at Clench Common (farm grass strip) in Wiltshire, SW England. Then started converting over to RAAUS when I got back to Oz out at YBOO (Jab), now finishing off nav/xc at YPJT (Sportstar).

National Police Checking Service accepts "• Aviation Security Identification Card/Maritime Security Identification Card".. so there is somewhere you'll be able to use it other than trying for a cheaper coffee at the airport..!

Welcome !

I was working from the UK for a year when I learnt out at Clench Common in Wiltshire as I was living out near Bath so I certainly appreciate the UK weather problems, although I'm sure Scottish weather was worse again! Sounds like you should give Adrian @ Cloud Dancer a call, go for a TIF and make sure you like him, his aircraft etc and take it from there. Let him know you've done some flying previously too. Gav

Finished yesterday! Paperwork now with RAAus, hopefully no problems! I didn't do nav in the UK so need to do that next here so if you end up at Cloud Dancer I may well bump into you. Have you completed a certificate/license elsewhere in the P28 or did you not complete? Good Luck Gav

Hi Kev, I'm flying with Cloud Dancer at the moment (actually was out there today!). The CFI and owner, Adrian is a great guy. Previously I did a bit of flying with TopFun up at Bindoon but switched over the Cloud Dancer just because I live close to YPJT and the drive to Bindoon (1hr each way, kinda worth it for the Bindoon Bakery however!) and Bindoon being in Pearse Restricted meaning they only fly weekends and public holidays was really making getting the conversion from my UK NPPL(A) done a challenge. If you live North of Perth and weekend flying works well for you give Jack the CFI a call - also a great bloke. It'll be a fair bit cheaper up at Bindoon too. Happy to answer any specific questions you have of either as I have experience at both. Gav
