flyingbaz Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Hi All Been a while since I last flew PPL about 13 years ago. Looking forward to doing RAA license in not too distant future. Maybe even get a plane for myself. Who knows, but gotta start somewhere. Looking forward to some good interaction and gaining much needed information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Neil Undecided as yet - probably Lilydale or Tyabb. Not immediately but will start looking around and see what suits me in terms of area, and what type of aircraft. How do you enjoy your Sav?

Not immediately but will start looking around and see what suits me in terms of area, and what type of aircraft. How do you enjoy your Sav? I really like it. Low and slow, short take-off and landing, and 140 litre tanks gives me close to 7.5 hours endurance plus reserve. My previous plane was a Gazelle, which was also great, but the endurance was only around 2.5 hours plus 45 minute reserve, which was ultimately quite limiting.

Thanks for this info. I'll be looking at all airfields in the East to evaluate and see what suits my requirements. A little early at this stage. Looking realistically in 3-4 years before starting flying again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
