information

Any one is able to start their flight training at Sport Aviation Academy
provided they are at least 15 years of age before their first solo and medically
fit to gain an Australian Motor Vehicle License.

A responsible attitude is required as well as an adventurous spirit.

Sport Aviation Academy is run by Chief Flying Instructor Glenn Hawser who
has had over 27 years aviation experience with over 2000 hours flying
experience including gliding

Sport Aviation Academy operates 7 days a week by appointment. Flying can
commence at any time, as early morning starts allow us to take advantage of the
smooth air. We recommend pre-booking your flying lessons although we
encourage visitors and pilots to drop in any time we are open for a drink and a
chat.
Whether you want to fly for pleasure or business, Sport Aviation Academy has
you covered. Our flying courses are all competency based with safety our
number 1 priority. We can take you from your first flight right through to your
pilots certificate as well as all other endorsements such as Passenger Carriage,
Cross Country, Radio Operator, and Advanced Flying. We can even train you in
your own aircraft (conditions apply).

Couldn’t be easier. All you need to do is become a member of RAAus.

You will then need to do a minimum of 5 hours training in a Recreational Aircraft.
The amount of hours you do depends on your experience and ability to handle
the aircraft. The conversion course is purely competency based.

Of the 5 hours minimum, at least 1 hour must be solo.

All your other ratings i.e. navigation, radio, etc carry over to these aircraft. The
main differences with Sport and Recreational Aircraft is that they are lighter,
have less inertia, and some have higher drag.

You do not need a CASA Medical to fly Recreational Aircraft. However, you
must meet the requirements to hold an Australian Drivers License.
