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).

has anyone tried to use their ASIC as a form of identification? Even CASA will not accept it. A complete waste of time, effort and money.

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.

Cheers Gav,It is both those schools I am looking at. Jandakot is a bit easier with Bindoon being about an hour away. I didn't know about the flying limitations up at Bindoon. Ideally would like to do mid week flying to keep the weekends free for the family. So looks like Cloud Dancer is the way forward and then move onto one of the larger clubs depending on which way I want to take the license.

 

How far are you along with the NPPL conversion.

Good Luck

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.
