Private Pilot License Navigation Course

After you have completed your GFPT the next phase of your training is navigation for the Private Pilot Licence (PPL). With your PPL you can fly anywhere in Australia and most places around the world as the Australian PPL is regarded very highly overseas.

The PPL course teaches you to navigate the aircraft on cross-country flights. You will fly to places such as Orange, Cessnock, Goulburn and Canberra, first with an instructor and then solo.

Pricing is intended as a guide only based on the average student requirements (28 hours including test), not the CASA minimums. Additional training flight hours if required will attract the normal pricing.
