Recreational Pilot Online theory course
A Recreational Pilot’s Certificate requires a number of exams to be passed. To assist in the study RPA offers an online course designed to make the study more structured.
The course is divided into 5 subject headings
1. Basic pre-Solo Knowledge.
2 Radio.
3. Air Legislation.
4. Human Factors
5. Basic Aeronautical Knowledge.
6. Meteorology and Navigation.
The online course is an excellent way for you to assist your study while flying. For our international students a way of getting your theory up to standard before arriving to do the practice. This ensures you can focus on the practical and not be held up by the theory.
The course is divided into two streams one for English speaking and the second a modified course for English as a Second Language. This course has many explanations of English words that are not used in regular conversation and unique to aviation. Often these words and abbreviations make study from a regular textbook slow and difficult.
RPA has decades of teaching locals and recently overseas students.
ideal starting point for Pilot Training. Starting your flight training in a Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) is the most efficient and cost effective route for learning to fly. Whether you’re training for fun or for a career in aviation, your Recreational Pilot Certificate should be your first goal.
The new legislation recognizes the Recreational Pilot Certificate (RPC) as the equivalent to a Recreational Pilot License. The hours in a light sport aircraft count directly towards a Recreational Pilot License (RPL), Private Pilot License (PPL) and towards a Commercial Pilot License (CPL). This makes RPA a great place to start.
Now internationally recognised as a place to start for RPC, PPL and CPL
Students often start with a Trial Instructional Flight. Once deciding to continue with the training they need to apply for RA-Aus Membership. Student pilot membership is directly payable to RA-Aus.
