Yep absolutely thought the same so I got Bob Taits RPL/PPL study guide textbooks which I’m working through and finding it interesting and enjoyable. Also a lot online about student pilot equipment necessary but not sure how much of it is useful immediately and how much of it can wait

Appreciate it Max Will absolutely take a staged approach to each module and won't be going the diploma route.

Thanks skippydiesel T510. Which school do you train with and how’s your experience been so far?

I’m 37 looking to enter the aviation industry and do my RPL-PPL-CPL training. Somewhat mechanically minded and always loved bicycles, cars, motorbikes, watches. Planes were always exciting as a kid and flying was always on my bucket list. Any recommendations for good flight schools up near Newcastle NSW and any tips or things that I should be aware of before entering the industry both good and bad?. Aware of the cost and time commitment needed which I’m comfortable with. Doing a test flight soon to confirm it’s right for me but keen to hear peoples experiences and any hurdles which I haven’t considered. Cheers Del
