At Redcliffe Aero Club we have built a reputation for providing high standards in MECIR training. In the last twelve months we have been the choice provider of MECIR training for:

• RAAF C-17 pilots converting to civilian MECIR qualifications
• RAAF F-111 pilots converting to civilian MECIR qualifications
• Army Pilots adding qualifications to their licences
• SKYTRANS Airlines - SIM evaluation sessions for their Pilot applicants
• Numerous indivduals seeking quality, one-to-one MECIR training

Our MECIR testing officers have an Airline background, which provides you with assurity of the standard of training provided. Our MECIR course "first time" flight test pass rate is near 100%.

Our two ATO's - Mike Loughnan was recently a QANTAS B767 Sim Instructor and Ray Vuillermin was a Check and Training Captain on B747-400 with Singapore Airlines and the CASA Team Leader - Airline Section. Both are friendly and experienced testing officers.

A number of your SIM sessions will be Scenario Based Training (SBT), likened to those sessions used in Airline training. This means we fully utilise our SIM to teach you more than just how to fly an ILS or VOR approach.

The SIM sessions are "all encompassing". You will experience full radio phraseology from engine start to shut down, unexpected system failures, unexpected diversions and approaches, task and risk management programs within a scenario. In short, we promise to teach you more than just how to fly an Instrument Approach during your MECIR.

 

Facilities:

Our facilities are all airconditioned and include the latest in technology. All briefings are power point based and standardised throughout the school ensuring your theory knowledge is what you need to achieve quickly.

Our synthetic trainer (RAC-7000) is one of Australia's most advanced synthetic trainers. The RAC-7000 operates on 6 computers, has 5 external visual screens and three computer monitors.

The synthetic trainer has a fully functional and intergrated avionics panel including a functioning Garmin 430 GPS. A headset intercom allows us to simulate the complete radio phraseology of air traffic control.

 

Aircraft:

For a multi engine rating choose from either the Partenavia or Turbo-charged Piper Seminole.

For a single engine rating choose from either our Cessna 172 fleet, 182 fleet, or our 182RG. All our multi engine aircraft are equiped with Garmin 430 GPS and autopilot.
