Yes, you must complete the RPL training syllabus before beginning this PPL training program. The PPL course PDF outlines that the first flight in this PPL program is a navigation flight. Therefore, you need to complete the RPL training to learn how to fly the plane before advancing to PPL training and focusing on flight navigation.

In Australia, the PPL syllabus is divided into two parts: RPL and PPL. The RPL (Recreational Pilot Licence) is the first part, where you'll learn basic flying skills such as takeoff, landing, and performing your first solo flight. However, with an RPL, you are restricted to flying within 25NM of the departure airport and cannot conduct navigation.

The PPL (Private Pilot Licence) is the second part, where you'll learn navigation skills, including how to create and execute a flight plan. With a PPL, you can fly anywhere in Australia.

You must start with the RPL training if you want to obtain a PPL, as you'll need to master basic flying skills before moving on to navigation. Some schools may offer a "combined" RPL and PPL program, but this typically means you only skip the RPL flight test but not the actual RPL training. In this case, once you complete the RPL syllabus, you'll skip the RPL flight test and move straight into PPL training. However, this approach can make the PPL flight test longer and more challenging, as the PPL flight test may still include RPL-level skills like precautionary searches, increasing the difficulty and the risk of failing the test.

We recommend completing both the RPL and PPL flight tests separately to ensure you’re well-prepared and to increase your chances of success.

The package includes 30 flying hours, which meets the minimum requirement set by our PPL syllabus for students eligible to take the PPL flight test. This includes 5 hours of solo flying time. However, it's important to understand that while 30 hours is the minimum, most students typically require between 35 to 40 hours to complete their PPL training.

As individual progress varies, students may achieve their license with different amounts of flying hours. The package covers the initial 30 flying hours. If additional hours are needed beyond this, they will be charged on a Pay-As-You-Go basis.

The PPL training typically takes 6-8 weeks to complete. While the syllabus includes 10 flights, you will also need to study the PPL theory, which some students find challenging and may take additional time. If you're an international student, you can accelerate your training by studying the PPL theory in your home country beforehand. Our PPL training package includes an online theory course, allowing you to prepare before arriving.
