Learning to fly is a lot easier than many people think! You don't have to become a commercial or military pilot to fly, you can be part of general aviation. Today there are thousands of people, just like you, taking flying lessons. They come from all walks of life and have a variety of reasons for wanting to be a pilot. Some fly to expand business opportunities, others to explore careers in the aviation industry. Some are looking for an activity they can share with their friends and family, most fly for the sheer fun of it! When you obtain an Australian pilot licence it is recognised internationally. There are just a few basic requirements you will have to meet to commence pilot training.. - Speak English. - Pass a basic medical exam prior to flying solo. - Be at least 16 years of age to fly solo. While you need to be 16 years or older to fly solo, there is no strict age limit to begin your flight training. We recommend about 13 years of age is the earliest you should start flying. If you are medically fit, it is never too late to start. We have had a student learning to fly with us at the age of 83! You need to clear IELTS examination with minimum score of 6.5 to 7 bands. After that you need to send your SOP (statement of purpose) to the UNI. Then you can apply for the Visa when you will receive the Uni acceptance letter. Cpl [:].
