RECREATIONAL PILOT CERTIFICATE (RPC)

Recreational Pilot Certificate (RPC) – the key to unlocking a world of thrilling recreational flying! Imagine yourself soaring through the clouds, feeling the freedom and joy that only flying can provide. This fantastic certificate, brought to you by the esteemed Recreational Aviation Australia Ltd (RAAus), is tailor-made for aviation enthusiasts who crave the pure bliss of flying without all the extra bells and whistles of a Private Pilot License (PPL).

With the RPC in hand, you’ll gain the incredible privilege of being the pilot in command, taking control of an RAAus Registered Aircraft. Picture yourself at the controls, the wind in your hair, and the horizon stretching out before you. And guess what? You can do all this within a 25 nautical mile radius of your departure aerodrome. That’s ample room to explore and enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes.

Should your adventurous spirit lead you beyond the 25nm limit, simply take on the challenge of earning your navigation endorsement. With this under your belt, you can spread your wings further and venture into new territories, discovering hidden gems from the sky.
