Licensing Costs

Our Charges

At Airborne Aviation we typically only charge for the time spent in the aircraft.

Theory lessons, pre-flights and de-briefings, when combined with a flying lesson, do not attract an additional charge like some other flying schools.

An example lesson:

  - 30 minute theory session
  - 10 minute pre-flight inspection
  - 60 minute flight time
  - 15 minute de-briefing

Charge is 60 minutes @ dual flying rate.

The hourly rates for training in all our aircraft can be found in the Our Aircraft section.

Having completed your GFPT licence, there is a navigation ground school course to complete prior to starting cross-country instructional flights for the PPL licence. This course attracts a fee of $200.



GST Free Flying

By providing us with a letter stating that you would like to undertake pilot training to a commercial (CPL) standard all your flying is GST free!

If you had only considered obtaining your private pilot licence (PPL) here are some reasons why you should consider undertaking a commercial pilot licence course:

- GST free flying up to 150 hours, including recreational flying!
- Most of your flying as a Private Pilot can be put towards a CPL.
- Increased flying proficiency and knowledge, making you a better pilot.
- A number of advanced ratings can be obtained within the 150 hours.
- There is no set time period to obtain a CPL - do it at your own pace.

Your instructor will talk to you about these options at the beginning of your training.
