RA-AUS Microlight & Ultralight Training

RA-AUS Microlight & Ultralight Training

The Aeroclub actively promotes Recreational Aviation and has recently introduced training for the microlight category of Recreational Aircraft.  This supplements Valley Ultralights who successfully have been providing Ultralight training and aircraft hire at Warnervale for many years.

There are no special skills needed to obtain your RA-Aus Pilot Certificate, anyone can learn to fly! As long as you are at least 15 years of age, and have a health standard that meets the requirements necessary to hold a car drivers license, then you are eligible to apply for a student license and start your training.

If you are interested in obtaining  your RA-Aus Pilot Certificate for either of these categories of light Recreational Aircraft please contact the Chief Flying Instructors of the organisations below.

Microlight Training

The microlight category are one or two seat weight shift controlled aeroplanes also known as 'trikes' or 'powered hang gliders'.  Trikes have a MTOW limitation of 450 kg and stall speed not greater than 40 knots.

Microlight training at Warnervale is conducted by Skywise Microlights.  The CFI, Luke Carmody has over 30 years experience in weight shift flying and has trained many hundreds of pilots, many of whom are Instructors operating schools on both sides of the country.  Training is conducted in brand new Airborne XT912-SST aircraft which are at the peak of the sport.  Come along and try this form of flying for yourself, it's an experience!

Ultralight Training

Ultralights are essentially regular two seat aircraft that are limited to having a MTOW of 600kg and a stall speed not greater than 45 knots.  Don't be misled though, many of these aircraft out perform regular General Aviation aeroplanes and can cruise along at speeds of up to 120 knots!

Our Ultralight training organisation is Valley Ultralights.  The CFI, Paul Crowfoot before moving to Ultralights had a successful career as a commercial pilot and is tremendously experienced.  He has trained a large number of pilots at Warnervale including quite a number of regular GA pilots who have cross trained to obtain their RA-AUS Pilot's Certificate.
