G'day Steve,
Try General Flying Services at Moorabbin Airport (35 min drive
south of the CBD). They have a whole bunch of new C172/182
airplanes with glass.
Otherwise, go talk to some of the companies at Essendon
Airport (25 min north of CBD)...I am sure you will find what
you are looking for.
Cheers
Russell

Bill,
Yes, lot's of empty space over here. I suppose
that's the reason for the differences, amongst
others, for the night VFR rules. I've just got the
Aviation Theory Centre Air Law book to study up for
the conversion.
I'm in Melbourne, but without a car. That's proving
to make things a bit difficult as far as travel to
the airports. I was hoping to avoid buying a car for
a while, since I live within walking distance of the
CBD.
I've been `surfing' the web most of this morning,
and stumbled across the AOPA Australia site. My
American membership number seems to have gotten me
in (surprise), but the forums there aren't too
active. Aeroclub.com.au seems to have a lot of
information, but it's also a lot of work to extract
it.
What I'm really looking for is some community
resources and, hopefully, a way to find some newer
model aircraft. Many of the flight schools in the
USA have upgraded the fleet, and you can almost
always find a G1000 panel to fly. They seem scarce
down here (I found only one - in NSW at the Cessna
Centre). I was hoping to get the IFR rating on the
G1000 (or a Chelton  , but that might not be
realistic. I might have to look at buying into a
partnership.
Cheers,
- Steve

Steve,
It certainly would, and it ain't much like US.
Where are you in Australia.

Migration. I just moved to Australia, and want
to pick up flying again down here. I figure a
good way to do that is to get an IFR rating;
that should be a good way to learn the system.

Aviation Resources Down Under Hello
Everyone,
It's been a bit quiet, so I hope that you won't mind an
off topic question of those in Australia. I'm about to
start flying in Melbourne, and wonder if anyone can give
me: A good list of URLs for aviation resources in Victoria
Any local email lists A suggestion for an FBO to obtain a
command instrument rating with a glass cockpit. That last
bit seems like it may be a bit tough. I found plenty of
aircraft in the USA (new Cessna's mainly) in the training
fleet, but as far as I can tell, not too many down here.
Any pointers, hints or suggestions on getting started down
here would be greatly appreciated.
Regards, - Steve
