Melbourne Flight Academy

The Australian Aerobatic Academy is a CASA-approved Part 141 flight training organisation dedicated to providing Sydney with high-quality primary flight training, aerobatic training, advanced handling and adrenaline-charged joy flights. The Academy’s mission is to provide our customers with the best possible training and customer service in a fun, friendly and supportive environment. Our team of highly skilled instructors and pilots are experienced and dedicated professionals who have qualified themselves beyond the minimum required standards to provide you with a higher level of skill. We don’t believe in the concept of producing masses of minimum-standard pilots in the minimum possible time or budget with instructors meeting the minimum experience requirements. Accordingly our small team of dedicated, experienced instructors guarantee to provide you with personalised, high quality tuition.

Welcome to the MH family. Our primary operation is helicopter flight training, flying out of Essendon Fields in Melbourne, Victoria. Our pilots have varied backgrounds and industry experience, though all share the same love of flying and teaching. Our goal is to create unique experiences for those looking to learn with us. Our training fleet of helicopters consists of three Guimbal Cabri G2’s, two Robinson R44’s (Raven I) and a Robinson 66 (R66). We offer flight training for Commercial, Private and Recreational Pilots Licences. Advanced training is also available.

With over thirty years of flying tradition and experience behind us, we know what it takes to make the best airline pilots. AAPA is managed by its parent company Regional Express (Rex) which is the largest independent regional and domestic airline in Australia, recognised by experts all over the globe as the world’s best regional airline. AAPA only trains pilots to commercial airlines standards and has a much more stringent and rigorous pedagogy compared to what is prevalent amongst pilot schools catering to General Aviation. AAPA has been approved by civil aviation regulatory bodies in China, Singapore, Australia, Vietnam and the United Arab Emirates to deliver ab-initio Integrated Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) and Air Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) and Multi Crew Cooperation (MCC). AAPA has trained pilots for Air China, Hainan Airlines, Xiamen Airlines, Okay Airways, Scoot, Qatar Airways, China Airlines, Juneyao Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines, Tigerair, Rex, Vietnam Airlines and Air Arabia. Besides training cadets for airlines, AAPA also accepts private candidates aspiring to be airline pilots. AAPA has two large campuses at Wagga Wagga, NSW and Ballarat, VIC, and has a total combined capacity of over 400 cadets a year for its residential CPL programme.

SFC began in 1969 when a small group of local aviation enthusiasts gathered to discuss the idea of starting a flying club. Their dream was to create a community that would promote and support aviation, providing a space for like-minded people to come together and share their passion for flying. Over the years, our club has grown in size and reputation, becoming the largest aviation club on the eastern seaboard. Today, SFC is a well-respected flight training organisation that is shaping the next generation of pilots in Sydney and regional NSW, while still remaining true to its roots as a club at its core.

Australian International Aviation College (AIAC) is a leading provider of flight training for both domestic and international students. Our success comes from designing courses that have our students, and their futures, firmly in mind. As a globally engaged organisation, we are committed to ensuring our flight instructors provide a positive learning experience and supportive environment for students from diverse cultural backgrounds. Based in picturesque Port Macquarie, on the mid-north coast of New South Wales, with access to an uninterrupted airspace and a modern training fleet, there's no better place to learn to fly.
