RAA LICENCE
Recreational Aviation Australia - Pilot Certificate

On your very first flight you will take the controls and learn about the effects of those controls (don’t worry, all training aircraft have dual controls so the instructor can help you out!) You will gain a good understanding of the primary effects of the engine, ailerons, rudder, elevator and flaps do and subsequently their secondary effects. Hence why we call the lesson – Effects of Controls. 

From there you will go on to a number of exercises in the training area.

• Learning to keep the aircraft straight and level;
• The basics of climbing, descending and turning;

Then it is time to hit “the circuit” – the pattern aircraft fly around the airfield on take-off, approach and landing. Typically a student will spend 5-8 hours in the circuit before feeling comfortable for their first Solo Flight. This means you will be the only one in the aircraft flying it all by yourself – it is a day you won’t forget!
