It takes a few theory exams, and if you pass all of the flying components, you can finish your license in as little as 20 hours. There’ll usually be some briefings before your practical flight training, most of which happen prior to your actual lesson.
How much does it cost to get the RPC?
The RPC can be economical, if you’re learning to fly in light or micro aircraft. It usually costs between $6500-$9500 to gain your RPC. Prices vary largely due to variation in the type of aircraft you choose to learn to fly.
What can I do with the RPC?
An RPC holder may fly a RAAus Light Sport Registered Aircraft with 1 or 2 seats and a maximum takeoff weight of no more than 600kg. This can be flown from an uncontrolled aerodrome, in uncontrolled airspace initially for no more than 25 nautical miles from the aerodrome.
if you want to travel further from the aerodrome, you will need to complete navigation training and the appropriate endorsement. The RPC does not allow you to fly in uncontrolled airspace at any time, and you can only fly during the day in visual meteorological conditions (VMC).
