"I am currently a Qantas First Officer on the 747. I graduated
from the University of SA in 1997, of which I completed the
University Flying school syllabus. I found the Degree course
excellent in content and structure, combined with the flying
program was a great mix of theory and practical application.
The flying program itself was of a very high professional
standard. It is this standard which then holds you in good stead
for your career. I ventured up to the Northern Territory for two
years flying Cessna 210s, Barrons, C-310s and a Navajo. This
experience was essential for my development but could not have
been accomplished without the basis of training from the
University. It was not just the credentials on paper which the
University provided, it was the professional attitude developed
amongst its staff and students which I believe to be its strongest
asset. This attitude in myself is what has got me to where I am
today.
I recommend the University Flying school program to anyone
interested in aviation, you will learn a lot, have a great time
and make some friendships which last forever. It still holds a
very fond place in my memory."
