LEARN TO FLY.

WITH TEAM AVIATION

Your flight training journey

Explore your training pathway

TEAM Aviation trains, mentors and supports pilots through a clear, structured pathway to confident private flying.

Your personal journey is built around hands-on training, defined milestones, and real learning progressions — giving you clarity at every step.

Each level in the TEAM pathway unlocks new capability, flexibility and freedom in the skies.

  • Your starting point as a pilot. The RPL builds the core skills needed to safely operate a fixed-wing aircraft and prepares you for solo flight and local operations.

    Suitable For:
    • New pilots beginning their aviation journey
    • Students wanting structured, confidence-building training

    What You Will Learn:
    • Aircraft handling and control
    • Circuit operations: take-offs, landings and go-arounds
    • Radio procedures, departures and arrivals
    • Decision-making and safety fundamentals

    Typical Training Time:
    Most students complete the RPL in 35–45 hours of combined simulator and aircraft training.
    Actual training time varies depending on lesson frequency and individual progress.

    What You Can Do With an RPL:
    • Fly locally during daylight hours
    • Operate a single-engine aircraft up to 1500 kg
    • Carry passengers once competency is achieved

  • The PPL unlocks true freedom in the skies. This stage builds your navigation, airspace, weather, and cross-country skills so you can fly anywhere in Australia under the VFR.

    Suitable For:
    • Students progressing from their RPL
    • Pilots wanting full cross-country privileges

    What You Will Learn:
    • Navigation planning and cross-country flying
    • Controlled airspace procedures
    • Weather interpretation and fuel planning
    • Emergency and abnormal operations

    Typical Training Time:
    Most students complete the PPL in 60–70 hours of total training following their RPL.
    Training time varies based on navigation proficiency, solo requirements and weather conditions.

    What You Can Do With a PPL:
    • Fly anywhere in Australia during the day (VFR)
    • Carry passengers
    • Begin advanced training such as NVFR or PIFR

  • The NVFR rating expands your capability beyond daylight flying. You’ll learn to operate safely at night using disciplined procedures, instrument references and terrain awareness.

    Suitable For:
    • Licensed pilots wanting additional capability
    • Students preparing for future IFR training

    What You Will Learn:
    • Night departures, circuits and landings
    • Navigation at night using LSALTs and terrain awareness
    • Weather, visibility and human factors
    • Night decision-making and safety procedures

    Training Structure:
    Combines night circuits, navigation exercises and instructor-led briefings.
    Training time varies based on experience and learning goals.

    What You Can Do With an NVFR:
    • Fly at night under the VFR
    • Increase safety and flexibility for travel

  • The PIFR introduces instrument flying, giving private pilots the skills to navigate safely in reduced visibility and manage IFR procedures confidently.

    Suitable For:
    • PPL holders seeking added operational capability
    • Private pilots wanting safer long-distance travel

    What You Will Learn:
    • Instrument procedures and situational awareness
    • Approaches, holds and missed approaches
    • IFR planning, alternates and weather minima
    • GNSS, PBN and cockpit management under IFR

    Training Structure:
    Includes simulator-based exercises and aircraft IFR procedures with instructor guidance.
    Training time varies depending on previous experience and progression.

    What You Can Do With a PIFR:
    • Fly privately under the IFR
    • Enhance trip reliability and safety in marginal conditions
