Four corners tonight
Tune to Four Corners on the ABC.
Interesting story currently running regarding a flying school some of the members on this board might have flown with. Cheers

I wanted to fly with Aerospace Aviation but ended up staying with Basair which was a good outcome to be honest.

I saw the show and I am not sure who to believe. Probably fault on both sides.
Big difference from when I learnt to fly nearly 40 years ago. My instructor, Warren, was also a good friend, so that helped enormously. We had confidence in each other. I did not see the shot of students waiting under a tree, must have been when I boiled the jug. The Twin Comanche sequences were interesting....I once did a PA-30 endorsement, certainly it is not suited to ham-fisted pilots. It challenges you every step of the way. Single engine " climb " is woeful. The emergency gear extension is pretty dopey and cumbersome, and the 6 small tanks is almost as unreal. Well suited to those who enjoy the shock of having to switch tanks when you hear the first cough. ( Do it quickly and don't stuff up ) I would have thought that a newer type would be used for ME training.
