Private Pilot Licence (PPL)
Air Gold Coast offers part time and full time courses.
The course starts by applying for a Student Pilots Licence and an Aviation Security Identification Card. Training then follows to syllabus approved by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority. The first part of the training is in a Cessna 152 or 172 and covers flights in the training area, then the circuit area in preparation for the First Solo Flight. Following this milestone, additional flights in the circuit area and training area are conducted in preparation for the General Flying Progress Test (GFPT). With the successful completion of this flight test you are able to take passengers for a flight inside the local training area.
The second part of your PPL training covers navigation and cross country flights in the Cessna 172. Once the theory is completed and flight competencies are achieved you will be awarded the Private Pilots Licence.
This is your ticket to a new freedom where you can enjoy the privileges of your Private Pilots Licence by hiring Air Gold Coast aircraft.
