About Yarra Valley Aviation
LFS stays in touch with many of our past students as they progress through the world of aviation. Last week one of our former students achieved his wings with the RAAF after a very interesting journey.Jack Terry did his TIF with us in January 2011 and achieved his General Flying Progress Test (now RPL) in September while finishing Year 12. Working hard as a tennis coach and later as a baggage handler at Tullamarine he completed his PPL in April 2012 and then steadily built experience over the next year and a half including getting his tailwheel and aerobatic ratings and flying friends up to the Birdsville Races.
Last week's Wednesday's Part One GPS Seminar with Matt Gault and Gary McGhee was very successful. If you want to watch it and missed it, we put the video up on YouTube here. This will be very useful for you before we start Part Two this Wednesday, which is a workshop on the Garmin 430 and 296 series GPS receivers as found in many of our aircraft
