What we do

We can help you to experience the exhilaration and joy of being at one with your aircraft and the elements. We can tailor and conduct flying lessons suited to your skills and ability so you too can become a recreational flyer. Take a Trial Instruction Flight today or purchase a gift voucher.

With our accredited training, any hours you spend having fun in the air count towards your Private Pilot's Licence (General Aviation). We also offer additional endorsements (including passenger, cross country, low level, Advanced Pilot Award (APA), tail dragger and more) and can conduct your Biennial Flight Review (BFR) or conversion from GA to RA (Recreational Aviation).

    		•  Our history

    We have a long history... we've been operating since 1992, originally under the name of Adelaide Ultralight Flying School. In 1997, James Hubbard (Chief Flying Instructor) purchased the school and in 2005 renamed it to Recreational Pilots Academy (RPA) as it is known today.

    In its time, the academy has provided over 500 students with their recreational pilot's certificate and continues to attract people from all walks of life to enjoy the experience. In the last few years the academy has seen a welcome increase in female students, retirees and mature age students - proving this passion bites people of all ages, young and old, male and female alike.

    Where we are

    We are located at the Murray Bridge (Pallamana) airfield in Murray Bridge, approximately 50 minutes drive east of Adelaide.

    Testimonials

    This is what students, pilots and friends are saying about us:
    "After trying several schools I settled in at RPA to fulfil my dream and finally achieved my Pilots Certificate. Coming from a rural background and seeing my back yard from the air was an amazing experience. I got to fly over Coonalpyn and the surrounding areas and practice my navigation techniques at the same time. I can't wait to take my daughters up for a fly!"

    Raymond Freund
    Coonalpyn S.A.

     

    "I received a gift voucher for a Trial Instructional Flight for my birthday and I enjoyed the flight so much I have started learning to fly. I can't wait to finish my navigation and spread my wings to other airfields and other places. I have met so many interesting people and made so many new friends. "

    Michael Harte
    Burnside S.A.

    "At 60 I decided to stop dreaming and have a go. It took awhile, but the exhilaration and satisfaction are life transforming. Give it a go - you'll never regret it!"

    Pauline Crawford
    Weekeroo Station S.A.

    "Seriously, if you never do another thing in your life – learn to fly. But, be warned. If you get the flying “bug” you’ll be forever looking skyward and wishing you were up there. At RPA you receive the very best training and support – unsurpassed. Fulfil your dreams and fly."

    Ian McDonald
    Rostrevor S.A.

    		 I recently visited the Recreational Pilots Academy at Murray Bridge North Aerodrome and was very fortunate to take a quick flight in my friend's plane. Well..... in a breath, just like the Academy's motto, STOP DREAMING ....Start Flying!

    "A professional approach with a relaxed attitude makes RPA my choice for recreational flying and training."

    Jeremy Jordan
    Air Force Flight Engineer
    RAAF Edinburgh S.A.

    "I have finally been able to realise a life long dream to fly, thanks to the professional training program at RPA. The Instructors have a wealth of experience between them which they skilfully pass on to the students. I would also like to thank the instructors for their patience with those students that have difficulty distinguishing their 'left foot' from 'the other left foot'.   It was easily affordable, and the reward of flying was just amazing."

    Grant Norris
    Norwood S.A.

    "I enjoy a challenge. It takes me out of my element and the sightseeing is fantastic!"

    Claire Davenport
    Hawthorne S.A.

    "Thanks to the thorough and absolutely professional training provided at RPA, I've been able to fulfil a lifelong ambition to fly - and it was much more affordable than I expected."
