* Some of the 20 minimum flying hours may be charged at the reduced solo flying rate. These flying rates quoted are the minimums. Student pilots with no previous experience will most likely require more hours flying than quoted to achieve their Pilot certificate.
In addition to learning the practicalities of flying, you'll also be required to undergo flying theory courses and exams in conjunction with your lessons to qualify for the Basic Aeronautical Knowledge exam. Most students prefer to learn flying theory in their own time and at their leisure, however course elements are flexible and allow multiple combinations of flight lessons and training.

Read on to find out more about our flying lessons and the licensing process!
To obtain your recreational license you'll need in the vicinity of 25-30 hours of flying lessons all up depending on your experience level and natural flying skill. You may see yourself going solo early into your flying lessons or you may need more dual time to adjust, but with our flying lessons, we'll ensure you're ready for every step along to your flying freedom!
After receiving their pilot license and finishing their flying lessons, most people attempt their cross country endorsement which usually takes anywhere from 5 to 10 hours. You'll learn essential navigation techniques, how to read maps, how to identify controlled airspace, how to use weather information, and the importance of meticulous flight planning to your flying trips.
After completing your cross country endorsement you're free to start flying almost anywhere across Australia during the day. With the amount of great airfields across Australia to land your aircraft, the possibilities for your flying adventures are endless!
