Flight training and trial flights

The flight school trains students for recreational, private and commercial licences. Training takes place over more than 10,000 acres of low flying terrain with confined area and pinnacle landing sites, in hilly and mountainous country with peaks rising to 7,200 ft. Nearby Canberra Airport gives students practice with radio and controlled airport procedures, and uncontrolled airfields at Tumut, Cootamundra and Moruya are also used. Trial introductory flights let beginners fly the R44 with their own hands on the controls, as a basic 1.5 hour experience or an advanced 2 hour experience.
