Instructor course recommendations

Postby Slapstick » Wed Oct 2 2013, 00:10

I have searched the forums and can't really find what I am looking for.

I'm aware of the changes in legislation, not trying to start a discussion point on that. Wanting to hear from anyone that may have completed a instructor course and would recommend the school/organisation they did it through.

Cheers.

Air T & G would be my first choice just an hour south of the QLD border, and definitely worth the drive.

+1 for Air T&G. Give them a call even just for a chat.

I've been planning to do the abridged conversion with certain school, but looks like I missed the boat. Few other big ones also advertised for instructors in September/recent days.

The question is, where 'else' would they be accommodating regarding tutored self-study, classes as needed, short foreign CPL and FI conversion?
At the moment pure Robinson pilot myself (not counting other class/category) and will likely do one or two other endorsements for the sake of experience/more options failing to secure FI job. I have close to 200hrs in the left seat including training autorotations etc. New to Australia, though. Got my medical, air law and HF books.

Any ideas? Good R44 training rate would be handy, too, not just R22, which seems about the same everywhere in Australia.
