I'm training currently.  I am about 5 or 6 weeks away from gaining my Student Pilot's License, which allows me to carry passengers for a distance of about 20 NM around the aerodrome (Archerfield).  ;D

Studying like mad for the BAK (written test) and I only need to do IF(Instrument), X-Winds and SFTOL(Short Field T/O and Land).

BTW the explanations in brackets are in case our overseas friends have different training courses.

If you like flying then you wont be dissapointed if you take it up.  ;)

I'm a long time Private Pilot but I also have CPL, Twin, PPL-H, Tailwheel IFR licenses. Getting a license IS expensive but don't let that discourage you, you will have a job that you love in flying.
