RECREATIONAL PIILOT CERTIFICATE

Your Ticket to Fun

You can enjoy affordable and safe flying in a supportive and fun environment with PathFinder Aviation. Your Recreational Pilot Certificate (RPC) allows you to fly a two-seat recreationally registered aircraft in the local area.

Your RPC is a great foundation for your Recreational Pilot Licence (RPL), Private Pilot Licence (PPL) or even your Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL).

Recreational Pilot Certificate Training Program

Your continued enjoyment of flying is contingent on not just being able to fly an aircraft but also, to safely operate an aircraft in complex real-world situations.

Your training will focus on your attitude & motivation, knowledge, preparation, experience, situational awareness, judgement & decision making, and skills & recency to ensure that you build the strongest foundation for your continued flying and development.

The syllabus includes sufficient flying for a typical part-time student to develop into a well-rounded pilot. Fixed price lessons allow you to budget and you have the flexibility to complete the Training Program at your pace. You can commence your Recreational Pilot Certificate Training Program at any time, but you must be at least 15 years of age to fly solo and complete your RPC.

Your practical lessons will be complimented by 24/7 mobile online access to all briefings, demonstration videos, quizzes and practice exams required for your study on groundschool.com.au

Fly the sporty Sling 2 for your RPC

You need to be 155cm – 195cm tall, 90kg maximum weight, 13 years old to start lessons and 15 years old to fly solo and complete your Recreational Pilot Certificate.
