TAILWHEEL ENDORSEMENT
The Tailwheel Endorsement is a great way to improve your general aircraft handling skills, in particular during take-off, landing and ground operations. As a pilot you will be better at recognizing undesired aircraft states and ultimately increase flight safety.
NAVIGATION ENDORSEMENT
Are you ready to explore Australia? Our Navigation and Certificate Cross Country Endorsement program is programmed to equip you with the navigation and flight planning skills required to confidently go where others can’t.
CONTROLLED AIRSPACE ENDORSEMENT
Are you ready to explore further and go through main areas of airspace around the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane (or even further if you are adventurous!) Completion of the course will give you a Controlled Airspace Endorsement to enjoy the freedoms of flying anywhere around Australia.

You will learn individual and combination manoeuvres, but most importantly the ability to recognize undesired aircraft states and the appropriate recovery techniques.
FORMATION RATING
Learn the art of formation flying and hone your skills with the formation experts who teach what they do! Our pilots are regularly seen over Sydney performing aerobatic formation displays or flying in formation at major events.
SPINNING ENDORSEMENT

UPSET PREVENTION & RECOVERY
