Hello and welcome to Sydney's Academy of Affordable Aviation,

Thank you for your enquiry into recreational flying. We hope that you will share our passion for flying and the aircraft we fly, the internationally acclaimed; all Australian designed and built Jabiru.

Click Jabiru for a tour of the factory website. We are sure you will be impressed!

Our school operates only fully certified, factory built training aircraft and we are pleased to offer the full syllabus for pilot tuition under the administration of Recreational Aviation Australia (RAAus). Initially, you may care to book a Trial Instructional Flight for a cost of as little as $70 and you may undertake up to 3 hours of instruction before joining the RAAus if you decide to apply for your Student Pilot Certificate and continue training.

When you have successfully completed the syllabus, the requirements for a full Pilot Certificate are easily achieved. You need only:

• To be medically fit enough to legally drive a car.
• To have completed a minimum of 20 hours in-flight training and achieved a satisfactory standard of proficiency proven during theory and practical examination.

The theory component of the course and the exams are quite simple and do not require long and intensive study. The study materials required are inexpensive and readily available, the school will recommend the required texts. As part of our comprehensive training program, aspects such as legal requirements and limitations will be covered and significant features within our flight training area will be identified. Alternate landing areas, restrictions applying to flight over residential zones, noise sensitive areas and any potential hazards such as power lines are some examples. Above all: training is fun!

Our training rate is $145 per hour and private hire is $115 per hour (including fuel) after you have qualified for your Pilot Certificate.
For further information please send us an email. We fly most days, weather permitting, and make special arrangements by appointment. Weekends are often fully booked so please telephone to avoid disappointment. Our easy access telephone number is 0410 576 011 or alternatively you may contact our Chief Flying Instructor directly on the number below:
