Hi folks, can anyone tell me what a typical daily rate of pay for an experienced RA-Aus instructor in the Melbourne area would be. The work would involve doing some post license training and a conversion for a private client onto a new aircraft type. Just a ball park figure. Thank you.
I don't know whether Peter Bini's still around in Moorabbin, but back in the day, they were highly recommended. Interair at Essendon is another one I'd recommend.
Whilst Peter Bini himself might not be, Bini's at Moorabbin still is and is still a good place to go. Oasis Flight Training (Kris K) is another one to try for ab-initio IFR.

Cadetship for New Zealand Citzens
Hello Everyone.Ever since I was little, I've wanted to become an airline pilot. I am 17 and in my final year of school in New Zealand and is wondering what cadetships I can apply for as a New Zealand citizen. I've done only a little bit of flying through a gateway program (only the three 20 minute lesson). That's my question, hope some of you can give my advice on this.Thanks
Check out the site below, it was announced this week and is a very good value Cadetship. Looks like it will be ongoing. Good luck.

Airline Cadet Programs
Air New Zealand has just opened up their Mangōpare cadet program, who else has a similar type program partially/fully funded in return for x number of years service? Something that would be good opportunity for a NZer with < 10hours

Of course! (refer my post #1032 above and others upthread).
I don't believe any other school in Melbourne has a bigger IFR training fleet than LFS: They've recently updated not one but two Archer III's (DDM and the other one) specifically for single-engine IFR training plus have plans to update the Arrow DXG to IFR also (which would make it perfect for long distance navs in typical Melbourne weather). YLIL's only downside is a lack of instrument approaches to the airfield, but YMMB, YMEN and YMAV aren't far away and you need time to set up for an IFR approach anyways.

Qantas Group Pilot Academy Selection
I am considering applying to the Qantas Group Pilot Academy to train for my CPL and I would be interested to hear from anyone who has been through the selection process or has already completed their training.
In particular I would appreciate any advice on the following:
1) What type of questions does the face to face interview entail? Is it just a HR style of interview, or is it more involved than that?
2) I see the application asks if you passed physics in Year 12. Is physics actually required to be selected for training or to be potentially offered a position in the QF Group at a later date?
3) How many recent graduates have been offered positions in QLink of Jetstar at the completion of training?
