If you are looking for professional pilot training, whether for a career as an
Airline Pilot or for fun as a recreational hobby, becoming a Member of the
Redcliffe Aero Club will be one of the best choices you will make.
The
Redcliffe Aero Club has been training both professional and recreational pilots
for almost 40 years, helping people broaden their experiences and achieve a
high level of personal satisfaction by making dreams and goals a reality.
Unlike most flying schools, our core instructional team are employed as full
time professional Flight Instructors (i.e. they are not all casually employed),
meaning your training team is consistent and regular. Our Instructors are
highly experienced and motivated to help you quickly succeed.
We also require our senior flight instructors to hold a
Certificate IV in Workplace Training & Assessment.
To ensure
you are comfortable for your flight tests, we have on staff, a
CASA approved Testing Officer up to Commercial Pilot’s Licence (CPL)
level, this means you will be assessed (for your licences) by someone familiar
to you, in house.
As
an Australian Registered Training Organisation (RTO) approved by the Department
of Employment and Training, you receive the additional benefit of being able to
train towards a Nationally recognized qualification - A Certificate IV in
Transport and Distribution (Aviation Flight Operations). This
course is our CPL 150 hr syllabus. Enrolling in this course means you can
train at
GST exclusive rates.
Many of our former students and instructors
are now flying for Qantas, Virgin, Cathay Pacific,
Sunstate, Macair and other major airlines, reflecting the standard
of training they have received and the Redcliffe Aero Club’s highly regarded
reputation within the industry. Most importantly, at the Redcliffe Aero Club
you will be treated as an individual student by
instructors who genuinely CARE about the standard you achieve and
not as a 'mass produced product' we believe this is an important factor when
choosing somewhere to fly. You will not only find our staff friendly and
helpful, but you will also meet many members, all sharing the same common
interest and passion for flying.
