There are a number of licence options you can choose from depending on how far you want to go with your flying. To start with we suggest you book in for a Trial Introductory Flight (TIF). This will give you a great feel for what flying is like and give you a chance to take control of the plane. TIF’s last approximately 30 minutes.
Here at Latrobe Valley Aero Club we offer training in both General Aviation (GA) and Recreational Aviation (RAA) aircraft. If you’re not sure which option suits you best, a quick chat with one of our instructors will help guide you.
