Deregistered Sydney flying school back in business
A Sydney flying school deregistered by the NSW education watchdog after a ''critical'' breach of standards is training commercial pilots again.
Aerospace Aviation won an appeal against its deregistration for a range of issues including the use of unqualified trainers. It has many overseas students.
The venture had also been censured internationally and within Australia over allegations of exploitation and mistreatment of Indian students who had paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in tuition fees but failed to receive sufficient flying time and access to facilities and instructors. One family said it paid $43,500 for a 52-week course and received far less than was promised.
Sue Davis, the co-owner of Aerospace Aviation with her husband, Zane, said they felt relieved and vindicated that the NSW Government's Vocational Education and Training Accreditation Board had set aside its previous decision after the appeal.
Over the next year the school must provide to the Education Department monthly reports about staffing and equipment and details of each student's planned and actual flying time.
The school has voluntarily appointed a director of learning and compliance and provided a full-year timetable to clarify student expectations.
