Like all things in life you need to use your own discretion when accessing a discussion forum, some are just outright abusive, while others are unfriendly and treat some members as second rate. We believe that the below three forums and pilot communities are amongst the best we have seen when it comes to friendliness and a welcoming attitude to pilots of all levels and even aviation enthusiasts alike. Try them out, and see what you think...
The Aussie Aviator is a very friendly online aviation forum where all are made feel welcome and a part of the community. Large image gallery and a heap of free resources. A 5 star Australian Aviation Forum!
Straight and Level Downunder is a small but very friendly online community of pilots from all levels and backgrounds. You will find RA-Aus pilots, GA and even commercial. Join in on this great community of flyer's - they even arrange for regular get togethers and fly-ins. Another 5 star Australian Aviation Forum where you will feel welcome!
A fairly new community of pilots...this forum is set up by pilots for pilots. There are a number of useful resources and some exciting events happening on this site - although only a new site, so far it looks great!
