Thanks that's great. I also found the online acronyms guide at CASA: http://www.casa.gov.au/scripts/nc.dll?WCMS:PWA::pc=PC_93235 Will probably use it a lot. In the meantime I downloaded as suggested the VFR Rules guide low res as well as the Day (VFR) syllabus aéroplanes (to know what i am getting into ... :-)) I believe RAA will probably what I will first be looking at Enjoy the rainy week end !

Hello to all and thank you for welcoming me to the "Recreational Flying" forum. Have never flown any kind of airplane but have been dreaming all of my life to become a pilot. Never had the time/opportunity to do it until now, been too busy raising three sons, and teaching French to Australians. Now that I have retired perhaps there will be time & opportunity to get my PPL one day. Having a lot to learn I welcome all advice to may wish to give me and first my question to everyone will be: - which is the best flying school in the USA and/ or in Australia ? Second question would be: - is there a list of GA acronyms with their meanings somewhere ? Thanks for having read this posting so far and for your help! Roger
