IR Renewal - Brisbane

[Bozzo]

Evening all!!

Can anyone recommend an examiner ( or school) in or around Brisbane for renewal of a long rusty CIR. Preferably someone who may have a little understanding of overseas pilots just wanting to keep things current.

Also, what is the going rate for a light twin these days?

Thanks

John Chesterfield at Cooly. Renewed my IR with him last week...very excellent indeed and he has a couple of excellent sims (one is a 'Kingair' and the other a piston twin) that keep the cost down.

The aircraft he uses is a nice little BE76 at about $400/hr. CG-LIS-CG for a GPS/NPA & NDB on return is about an hour-ILS in the Box. If you're not BE76 endorsed you will be by the end of it.

PM/email me if you want his contact details....not sure W would like me putting them on ere

Gordon Smith is the CFI.

You can hire a REALLY GOOD Aztec for $350/hr + GST, if you know the right people.......

I also did a renewal with John Chesterfield recently and it's not the first with Chesty. Good value, sims good and the Duchess does the job.

A mate of mine recently renewed at Maroochydore, Sunshine Coast A/P. Don't have the details to hand. I think you can also renew at Archerfield.

QAS

Try QAS at Caloundra (about 45 min north of Brissy), I beleive they may even know something about your overseas requirements as the CFI and his fellow director (his brother) are English. They use a Seneca, I think under $350 but also have a 310 and a Baron.
