This course is designed for senior secondary students who are interested in aviation and have the passion to fly an aeroplane. It will prepare students with necessary knowledge and skills that are required for supporting their future practical flight training. The curriculum is based on the syllabus for the Australian Private Pilot Licence (Aeroplanes) published by Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) of the Australian Government.

This programme contains three articulated modules which will lead to the recognized Australian General Flying Progress Test (GFPT) level of training.  A wide screen flight simulation practice (with Aeroplane model C152 & C172) will be used throughout the programme.
 

(1) Sky Experience Module (25 hours)

Introduce the general aviation and flying knowledge including history of flying, basic principles of flying, how powered aircraft works, the typical training aircraft, aviation terminology, air law and flight rules, flight procedures, simple navigation, radiotelephony communications and how weather conditions affects flying.

(2) First Solo Module (Prerequisite: Sky Experience Module) (25 hours)

Students will be taught in details in many areas such as the engine systems, flight instruments, more on operational procedures, flight performance and basic navigations using aeronautical. Most importantly, students whose mother language is not English will be trained intensively on their competence of radiotelephony conversation using a simulated environment.

(3) Recreational Pilot Licence (RPL) Module (Prerequisite: First Solo Module) (25 hours)

With a RPL license (latest name), students may carry passengers to fly in designated areas where they have been trained. This module will focus more on specific topics that are required for qualified solo flying such as the aircraft performance, calculation on load & balance, documentations, emergency procedures, meteorology and human factors. In addition, more radiotelephony conversation exercises in a simulated environment will be practiced.

We accept school-based class*.   Teachers from all secondary schools are welcomed to contact us.
