      We have had this deal since December and will be running it for one more month. And thought to share it through OzBargain.
      Please link me to a better deal where you can hire an aircraft, a professional instructor and learn how to fly for less!

    Please give ozbargainer a true bargain. If we get the same bargain which you have rub for 2 months then it ia not a ozbargain, just a you think it is a bargain.

      This deal is on for one more month, the RRP's are listed. Please link a better deal!

        This deal is on for one more month

        For all we know, you may drop your prices in a month.

        This is OzBargain, not OzSpeculation…

        Paying for something we could have got for the last 2 months for the same price is not a bargain…

          Thats why I'm sharing it here, because like you said-this website is not "OzSpeculation".
          The promotion has been running since December 1 and will be at the RRP at March 1.
          If you don't see a value in this promotion its all good!

          Please link to where they recommended it.

          @AmberAviation:

          Good deal if you know anything about obtaining a CPL.

          Ignore jv, someone stole his purse and he is a little upset.

        • jv on 31/01/2016 - 16:31

          @goober:

          Good deal

          Prove it…

        • goober on 31/01/2016 - 16:45

          @jv:
          No need to, you prove that it's not good deal since you are convinced it''s not.

        • jv on 31/01/2016 - 16:47

          @goober:

          you prove that it's not good deal

          Wrong… Read the posting rules.

          It is up to the OP to show this is the cheapest price available…

          better deal was posted here anyway… and here…

        • goober on 31/01/2016 - 16:53

          @jv:

          Wrong. ..lol … yes you are on so many levels.

          There are no other's cheaper for that service so how can he prove unless it's disproved.

          I know it's a hard concept for you but unless YOU can find it cheaper it''s a valid deal. 16+ vote's also confirm this versus 0-.

      The $129 flight package says the flight time is 30 minutes?

      • rawm on 31/01/2016 - 08:00

        Yep, premium package only has a 60min flight time ($199)

    We are governed by Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and operate only Gereral Aviation aircraft (the aircraft are bigger, sturdier and the maintenance is very strict)
    The flying can be recorded in the logbook and will be counted towards the Private/Commercial license.
    We operate out of Essendon Airport. Located approximately 20 minutes from Melbourne CBD.

    Soar are governed by Recreational Avaition Australia (RA-Aus) and operate recreational aviation aircraft-(the aircraft are lighter, and smaller, maintenance requirements are not strict compared to general aviation)
    The flying cannot be recorded towards Private/Commercial license.
    Operation out of Moorabbin Airport. Located approximately 50 minutes from Melbourne CBD.

    I hope this is helpful!

      I hope this is helpful!

      Thanks for the clarification.

    • macamaca on 31/01/2016 - 00:40

      Yep. Understood re size of aircraft

    • Bacchus on 31/01/2016 - 12:00

      Many Rec aircraft are a lot newer and modern than any Tomahawk; the last of which was manufactured in 1982.

      The only light aircraft I hated flying more than a PA38 was a Cherokee 140.

  • Mobs007 on 31/01/2016 - 00:47

    I paid full price few months ago :-( but worth every penny - Highly recommended @ this price.

  • LeftHandSeat on 31/01/2016 - 08:45

    This is a pretty standard price that country aero clubs have all year round for a TIF in a 172. My local has been $99 for as long as I can remember. Intentionally cheaper than normal hire to get you in the door with the hope you will sign up as a student.

    The bargain here is that it is out of Essendon in controlled airspace where the half of the cost will get chewed up in the high air services tower fees and the high Essendon airport landing fees. You get some nice city scenery for your troubles.

    If you want to pick where you go and / or get more time hands on, pick a country areo club. If you don't mind having part of your flying time chewed up getting out of controlled airspace, this is not a bad option.
