On average, students usually need 15-20 flying hours to reach their first solo flight. That’s why we include 15 hours in the package. However, since flight training is competency-based and individual progress can vary, you must meet the solo standard before your first solo flight to fly solo. The package covers the initial 15 flying hours, and any additional hours required beyond this will be charged on a Pay-As-You-Go basis.

The First Solo training usually takes around 3 weeks to complete, although this can vary based on weather conditions and individual student progress. While some students may finish within 2 weeks, others may require 3 weeks or more to reach the solo standard.

There isn't much theory involved in the First Solo training. However, you can still prepare by watching our training videos, which will help you become familiar with the procedures and the flight training process. Once you enroll, we'll send you the login details so you can access these videos through our online training portal.

Some students are able to handle more than one lesson per day, while others may find it challenging. Especially for beginners, the early lessons involve a lot of new information, and doing two sessions in one day might impact learning and progress. Please keep in mind that flight training is competency-based, students must meet the required standards before progressing to the next lesson.

Firstly, the training package offers approximately an 8% discount, making it a more cost-effective option if you're looking to save money.

Whether you should choose a package or PAYG also depends on whether you're a local or international student. If you're an international student, we highly recommend going with the package option, we’ll make all your bookings in advance, which is ideal since you’re likely in Australia for a limited time.

For PAYG students, we take a $550 deposit and only make one booking in advance. This option is more suitable for local students who prefer flexibility and can let us know their availability week by week for scheduling.

There isn’t much you need to prepare in advance. Most of the required documents can be completed after you arrive in Melbourne. When we send your booking confirmation, we’ll also include all the relevant information to guide you through the process.
