RA-Aus is definitely the way to go if you’re hanging to get back in the air and haven’t got a lot of spare funds. For most people, it’s all the flying they’ll ever do. You’re certainly not the only ex-GA person returning to the air via RA-Aus :)

Glad you’re enjoying the show and keep us posted with your return to the air.

Cheers,

Just a quick comment on this podcast…I am looking to get back into flying after an absence of around 13 years. I got 64 hours on PA28s and C172s up till 1997, then ran out of cash, halfway through nav training for PPL.

Back around 1997, RAAus (then the AUF) was only just beginning and getting on it’s feet and I, for one, certainly didn’t see it as a viable alternative to GA training.

Now in 2010, I realise that I won’t ever be getting a CPL/ATPL and just want to bum around in the air with the occasional passenger. RAAus seems ideal for this kind of thing.

Thanks Bas for the info on RAAus. It reinforces my decision to go RAAus, knowing that I can go back to GA if I ever want to take up 2 passengers of go NVFR. Can’t wait to scrape some cash together and get back in the air… :)

PS: now listening to the other podcasts!

Thanks for the support although I think Bas may consider his aircraft a bit more than a lawnmower – that’s more like some of the aircraft I’ve been able to afford :) :)

I’ve enjoyed flicking through your JuniorFlyer.com site and will be using the contents next time I fly with my son. He’s 12 so some of it may be a tad easy but there’s some good stuff in there that should help to amuse him for a bit :)

Cheers,

Grant

Suggestion: You might have to give Rob some Didge lessons.

Love your show, and the fine print at the end of it. :-)

Regards, Doug.

Cheers.
