Pilot Certification
We're here to help you reach your dreams.
Recreational Pilot Certificate
A Recreational Pilot’s Certificate is the 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.

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. The membership covers monthly magazines, third party insurance and issuing Pilot Certificate. Membership is renewable annually. To fly, the Medical standard is equivalent to that required for a motor vehicle licence.
FLIGHT TRAINING
Students typically require between 20-30 hours of flight training to achieve their flying Certificate. A lesson will start with a classroom brief on the technique before practice in the air. After each lesson students will have a short debrief with their instructor. Once ready, students will be flight tested by the CFI.
