Theory

The aero club runs theory courses throughout the year for both the recreational and private pilot licene.  There is also the opportunity for one-on-one tuition for the recreational, pilot and commercial pilot licences.

RECREATIONAL PILOT’S LICENCE THEORY COURSE

The recreational licence covers basic aeronautical knowledge, air law, meteorology, human factors, loading and performance.  Our RPL theory course is a 4 day course that is run over 2 weekends.  Run in a classroom setting you will have one instructor teaching the course, with various exercises and practice exams throughout the course to help you learn all the theory and be confident in sitting the CASA exam.  There is also the option to sit the pre-solo and pre-area solo exams in the course.

The RPL course runs several times a year and costs $900.  (Note, textbooks and additional materials not included in price)

Private tuition can also be organised at $110/hr on a weekday and $120/hr on a weekend/public holiday.

PRIVATE PILOT’S LICENCE THEORY COURSE

The private pilot licence has the largest theory syllabus of all the exams.  The one exam covers all topic areas.  Our PPL theory course is a 6 day course that covers all aspects of the syllabus and gets you prepared for the CASA exam.  Just like the RPL course, our PPL course is run in a classroom setting, with one instructor teaching the course.  There are various exercises and practice exams throughout.  The course is either run full time, 6 days in a row; or over 3 weekends (varies throughout the year).

The PPL course runs a couple of times a year and costs $1350. (Note, textbooks and additional materials not included in price)

Private tuition can also be organised at $110/hr on a weekday and $120/hr on a weekend/public holiday.

COMMERCIAL PILOT’S LICENCE THEORY

The commercial pilot licence theory syllabus is larger than the PPL, however there are 7 separate exams, one on each topic area.  This allows you to study each topic separately.  At this stage we don’t run any classroom CPL theory courses.  However, private tuition can be organised at $1100/hr on a weekday and $120/hr on a weekend/public holiday.
