All of UniSA's C172 aircraft are being sold and they're moving entirely over to Flight Training Adelaides fleet. Initial training will be on Tobago TB10's.

Have you been accepted?There are a lot of assessments and interviews before you are a offered a place.

 

Looking at the casa register they only have a few aircraft that are cross hired to them, Flinders Uni in SA have more but I think that is a different uni?

Apparently they have 5 aircraft in there name and they're all operated by Flight Training Adelaide. Im up to the stage where I only have to sit an aptitude test and have an interview. I have been accepted in to a Bachelor of aviation which is run concurrently with the flying section. Here's information about their 'new' 2016 courses

. 

I'm pretty sure i've read somewhere that they're using their own aircraft and contract the operations over to another school. Dont quote me on that but its what i've heard! I have an interview on Monday for entry into the flying component so its still there :)

oh sorry, i understand now! thanks mate!

i do have an interview coming up soon so i'll enquire then. Im not really too keen on sticking a go pro on the exterior to start with so hopefully they'll allow one in the cockpit im sure i'll make do somehow :)

You sure you never had one before?

i hadn't actually heard about that! that changes my plans abit! but i know ill be doing a good amount of extra flying outside of university, maybe about once a fortnight, so ill still be getting lots of footage. thanks for the heads up though!

Hey guys, been ages since i've posted anything here! i've now got Cockpit intercom in the video! In 2016 im moving to Adelaide to undertake a Bachelor of Aviation and get my license's upto and beyond my CPL over the 3 years im there. ill hopefully be cataloging most/ if not all my lessons and posting regular updates on my youtube channel. I'am Certainly looking forward to the adventure!

Little write up about the lesson below

Because of the location of my town, Geraldton WA, westerly winds meet with easterly's in early afternoon, this often causes strong winds and constant direction changes. Unfortunately i had a lesson right in the middle of that time. During the course of the hour we used 3 runways 08, 14,and 21. also making an appearance were several large 'Willy Willy's' (or ¿Dust Devil's? unsure of the proper term). so altogether it was certainly a challenging experience!

Nice video. Glad to see that you are getting to fly regularly! Looked like a very smooth landing and nicer weather this time.Would be interesting if you could somehow show some of the ATIS information (i.e.: wing direction and speed) on the screen for each takeoff and landing to see what conditions you are encountering or just put them in the show notes (don't worry if this is too much hassle)?

 

Keep up the great work!

Surely wouldn't be too hard! Well especially with the audio connector you'll be able to hear the AWIS yourself! wont be flying for a couple of weeks now as i have a few other commitments but still won't be too long before the next one.

I think it was a downwind departure (to the training area), not a downwind take off.

nice smooth landing there.. seemed like a really long takeoff roll though, hot day? had to laugh at all the flies in the cockpit, gotta wonder what they are thinking! wheeeeeeeeee!!

i decided to make this video just an approach and departure time-lapse as the nature of this lesson was repetitive.

A few things before the link is posted, I expected to have an audio adapter prior to this lesson, but that didn't happen. so all i've done is removed/lowered the music at takeoff and landing. so sorry about that!

as always subscribe/like/comment to keep me motivated to make various videos in the future :D

Have to agree there Adam,. . . . .I MUCH prefer to see a FLYVID without the postproduction music track,. . .which seems to be a "Must Do" on a lot of these videos, ?. . . .what for, escapes me,. . .I would MUCH rather listen to the flying instructor yelling things like,. . ." You dickhead,. . .are you trying to kill us ? ? ? " and that kind of stuff, which is much more pertinent, amusing and INTERESTING. . . . to flight training and videos of same, without Pink Floyd superimposed,. . .much rather listen to the radio calls, the instructor patter,. . .and save the movie stuff until flight training is all over, and then make a movie about flying in some interesting places, then,. . .by all means intersperse the film with a bit of APPROPRIATE music ( if you must ! ) otherwise it's a bit pointless in my own, narrow minded, measly, horrible opinion. . . . . ( ! )This feeling probably originates from my own flight training woes,. . .WHICH HAD NO musical accompanimant whatsoever, . . . .just a surfeit of curses and threats from the miserable bar$tard who was trying his best to convert this complete idiot into some sort of half-safe aviator. . . . . . . .

 

ANYHOW Andrew,. . . . . don't let some miserable Pommie Git put you off from posting further stuff mate ! ! ! ! But can you use some more appropriate soundtracks like,. . .er,. . . . those magnificent men in their flying machines,. . . .? . . . .OR,. . . . when you are doing your SPIN training,. . . .Queen's "Who wants. . .to live. . . .Forever. . . . .. . ." etc. . . . . ( ! )

i still dont have an adapter to record audio through my GoPro, i have one ordered so after my next video expect longer videos with cockpit audio.

i found the sound to be really screwed up and a time-lapse seemed to be the only real option for me. but thanks for all the suggestions! I always appreciate it.

thanks,

Andrew

Second training video is now up! this lesson was straight and Level. give it a watch and if you enjoy dont be afraid to like and comment on it :D

also subscribe! then you'll get all of my future videos straight away! thanks heaps everyone!

Hey Andrew,Great video! YGEL looks like a great place to fly. Would be interesting to mix it up with rpt traffic.

 

I have subscribed to your channel on youtube and will post a link on my twitter of your video.

 

Looking forward to seeing more!

Thanks heaps!

YGEL has just a few jets and turboprops here and there during the day and quite a bit of charter work also but i think its a great place to learn without too much stress regarding other traffic(whilst still being exposed a bit), currently studying a short course at uni so i am just flying for fun until i can regain full time work hours and fly a lot more and then you'll be seeing loads of videos posted! thanks soooo much for sharing it!

(p.s. if you ever get the chance to fly in Geraldton, you definitely wont regret it! amazing and beautiful place from the sky!)

Welcome and best of luck, keep us posted! Where in WA are you flying out of? do you have the non-time-lapse, non-music version? I think most of us like to see and hear what's going on. :-)

But I did just recently purchase an adapter so my next video will have audio!

Student pilot, just a few lessons in with many more to come!

Heres a time-lapse and highlight video of my first proper lesson. :)
