NAVIGATION ENDORSEMENT
Overview
Are you ready to explore Australia?
Our Navigation Endorsement (also known as Cross Country Endorsement) course is programmed to equip you with the navigation and flight planning skills required to confidently go where others can’t.
Having obtained your Recreational Pilot Certificate, the next stage in your flight training process is the Cross Country Endorsement. You will learn how to navigate from point A to point B, and expand your horizons beyond the 25 nautical mile range of your departure airport. In this course, you will plan and execute several flights to outback airports, with even a few backcountry bush strips thrown in for a real test of your ability to find a small dot on the map!

- Fly a single-engine RA-Aus registered aircraft

How old must you be?
While you can learn to fly from any age, you cannot go solo before you are 15. As a result we don’t recommend that you conduct many lessons before the age of 14.
