Thanks for the replies!

I did my gfpt at Archerfield, but now I live more or less the same driving distance to either Redcliffe or Archerfield.

What airplanes do flightscope have? I did my initial training at Gil Layts and my instructor was Steve Tadeucci (I think i may have the spelling incorrect) and Steve was great also.

Great to hear you got back on the saddle so to speak :)

I have the Bob Tait PPL books, but want to know if they are still applicable as I know now they are RPL vol 1 and 2, one would assume the material is similar if not identical to the newer editions....

I will look up Flightscope and make some inquiries!

Hi everyone,

I've just found this forum so was hoping one or some of you could offer some opinions on a couple of things :)

I hold a GFPT (yep, the old one) I am booked in for a flight review to have the GFPT converted to an RPL in the coming weeks pending how I go with the review flights etc.

Now, I am 36 now and are contemplating biting the bullet and going all the way to CPL and aiming toward a career change. The way I see it, I still have another 25+ years of work ahead of me so its "not too late" in a sense. I am aware that it may be tough to land a job in the beninning as there are airline cadetships etc offered to the younger applicants, and a cadetship wouldnt really be an option for me due to my wife & pair of rug rats.

Has anyone else in here had a similar scenario?

Thanks in advance for any advice or home truths thrown at me, I appreciate it all :)
