Top Learning to Fly Questions

What is the Youngest Age I can Get a Pilot Certificate?

Your first Solo cannot be achieved until you are 15yrs of age, however you are able to commence training prior to this. Parental permission is required for anyone under the age of 18yrs

Am I too Old to Learn to Fly?

As long as you are fit enough to hold a current Drivers Licence – you are never to old to fly RAA-us. If you are over 75yrs you must produce a doctors certificate verifying you are fit and able to drive a car.

HOW MUCH IS A PILOT LICENCE

Why We Do It?

We Love Flying. We're Enthusiasts! We Enjoy the Company of the People we Fly with. It's priceless - the beaming smile on the face of a student after their first solo!

Those concerns were quickly dispelled during the Introductory Flight.'

Safety is Peter's number one priority, so not only do you learn how to fly, you learn to be a safe pilot. The in-cockpit videos are an invaluable training aid...
