Introduction
The course starts by applying for a Aviation Reference Number, Class 2 Aviation Medical and an Aviation Security Identification Card (ASIC). Training then follows the syllabus approved by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority. The first part of the training is in a Cessna 152 or 172 and covers flights in the training area, then the circuit area in preparation for the First Solo Flight. Following this milestone, additional flights in the circuit area and training area are conducted in preparation for the Recreational Pilot Licence (RPL) flight test . With the successful completion of this flight test you are able to take passengers for a flight around the local area.
The second part of your Private Pilot Licence training covers navigation and cross country flights in the Cessna 172. Once the theory is completed, flight competencies are achieved and pass the flight test you will be awarded the Private Pilots Licence.
This is your ticket to a new freedom where you can enjoy the privileges of your Private Pilot Licence..

Note: As flying is competency based, the hours required depend upon the student’s ability, commitment and flying conditions on the day. The above summary exceeds the minimum hours required by CASA. Air Gold Coast’s flight training syllabus more accurately reflects the required hours to achieve a sound standard. Theory courses for the Private Pilot Licence can also be self-studied, however we recommend participation in our Basic Aeronautical Knowledge and Private Pilot Licence course to reduce course completion time.
