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,  

   

A good start would be the www.aeroclub.com.au, and the casa site, www.casa.gov.au  

   

I will forward your request to my associate Michael Pont in Sydney.  He may have a few more suggestions.  

   

What takes you flying down under in OZ?  

   

Steve Gilson

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.

 

 Cheers,

Steve,

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

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,

General Flying Service at Moorabbin have a fleet of new C172, a 

number have G1000, but apart from several flying schools who have 

aircraft for foreign training contracts, new GA aircraft or even 

"newer" are rare. Pay Royal Victorian Aero Club a visit, and ask 

questions, they are a good bunch.

Give me a call, 0408 876 526, save clogging up Matronic's bandwidth.

Cheers,

Bill Hamilton
