A Recreational Pilot Certificate (RPC) is issued by Recreational Aviation Australia Ltd (RAAus) under an exemption to the Civil Air Regulations of Australia.
DurationThe RPC has proven popular for purely recreational pilots who don't need the additional benefits and privileges of the PPL. With an RAAus issued certificate, you can conduct private flying but are restricted to 1 or 2 seat recreationally registered aircraft with a total take-off weight limit of 600kgs.
Currently RAAus is working with the Civil Aviation Authority of Australia (CASA) to implement changes to regulations that include the registration and and operation of aircraft with Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW) of up to 760 kg. The weight increase proposal provided by RAAus plans to introduce a Group G RPC for fixed-wing, 3 axis, single engine aircraft with an MTOW between 601 and 760 kg, regardless of stall speed. This is great news as this new increase to MTOW 760kg allows RPC candidates to undergo flight training in a whole new range of two-seater Light Aircraft that will fall under the new limit, like the Cessna 152 (which is also used for RPL and PPL training). In addition, this provides RPC candidates who undergo flight training in a Cessna 152 with an upgrade path to a full Private Pilot License by completing additional 20 hours of flight training, passing both the PPL ground exam and final check ride & oral exam.
A Recreational Pilot Certificate allows you to:
- Fly a two-seat recreational registered aircraft in uncontrolled airspace during daylight hours within 25 nautical miles of your departure aerodrome in Australia
- Medical standard is equivalent to that required for a motor vehicle license
- Take a passenger when endorsed to do so
- Fly in good weather conditions (VMC)
- Fly further in uncontrolled airspace with an additional Navigation (Cross-Country) endorsement.
FlightSchool.sg was established by a team of experienced private aviators after realising that there was a huge interest in private aviation – but the cost and timeframe required to obtain a Private Pilot License were prohibitive for many. While there are readily available options for the budding aviator: one can join a Singapore-based flying club (Seletar Flying Club & Singapore Flying Club) or even take a 45 min drive across the causeway via the 2nd link to a flying club based in Senai, Malaysia – be prepared to spend at least one year (based on once a week time commitment) before you are competent enough to take your Private Pilot check ride.
Furthermore, what you need to be aware of is after your obtain your Private Pilot License (Malaysia) you are only legally allowed to fly an aircraft that is registered with the same authority that granted you the Private Pilot License. For example, if you earn your Private Pilot License through a Singapore flying club, you can only fly a Singapore registered aircraft (i.e. aircraft registration starting with 9V registered with the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore). Similarly, if you earn your Private Pilot License in Malaysia, you are only authorised to fly a Malaysia registered aircraft (i.e. aircraft registration starting with 9M registered with Department of Civil Aviation of Malaysia).
To this end, our ground and flight preparation training program is geared towards helping you obtain an FAA (USA) Private Pilot License, primarily because of the wide availability of US-register aircraft available for rental in Singapore.
Selected students with good performance are offered this course to better equip them for the flying training phase. Over a span of four-and-a-half days, essential flying knowledge is imparted to the students by SYFC instructors
The journey and experiences of cadet pilots vary widely from flight training institutions and airline to airline, it would be challenging to cover all grounds. Embarking on a pilot’s journey is as diverse as the skies themselves.
In the duration of the course, participants are exposed to authentic aircraft piloting experience via static and full motion flight simulator. The full motion simulator is also an exact mockup of an A320 cockpit.
The Recreational Pilot Certificate (RPC), issued by Recreational Aviation Australia Ltd (RAAus), is a cost-effective way for pilots to achieve their first pilot license, providing a practical and accessible entry into the world of aviation.
The MPL is a new philosophy for better preparing pilots for the modern multi-crew environment. Traditional CPL/IR training focused on creating safe commercial pilots first, before transitioning them into a multi-crew environment
