Simon and Jane are now halfway through their RAAus Instructor Training with CFI Dan and Deputy CFI, Damien, and have each passed their exam. Doing the course together means they have someone to practice delivering their patter to, and they can debrief with and help each other.

Valid Invalid date - Invalid date

A year ago, Cameron came to us for his 40+ hours of RAAus Instructor training, with the aim of setting up his own flight school. Cam is very determined and always finds a way to achieve all his goals, including building a new type of plane and raising money for RFDS by setting a record for the highest number of take offs and landings in one day. Each fortnight he commuted to Caloundra for training and then returned to teach for 75 hrs until he was eligible to be a SNR instructor. This month he opened his own school in Chinchilla. All the best Cameron!

After dreaming about it for a while, 52 year old Mitsu from Japan, researched places to train to become a pilot and chose our flight school in Australia for the first few stages of his journey. He quit his automotive career, organised accommodation here and began training with us fulltime around four weeks ago. He passed all his exams and this morning passed his RPC flight test with me. Congratulations Mitsu! Next week: straight into navigation training...

Given the recent wet or windy weather, it’s been hard for many of our students to get the right conditions to take their first solo flight or finish their required five hours of solo time. But Jordan persisted, commuting from Gympie each week. Congratulations Jordan on passing your RPC flight test with CFI Dan this morning!

Our navigation students watch our navigation videos and read the navigation theory book on our Gofly Online platform. They learn how to read maps, identify landmarks from above, plan their fuel requirements, how to interpret complex weather reports, plan a backup aerodrome if they need to divert for any reason, and to work out where they are if they get lost. Congratulations Elijah on passing your flight test and achieving your RAAus navigation endorsement!
