Our other flying pathways see you remain in the Bachelor of Aviation (Flight) and undertake Flight Experience, a course in first year where you will log approximately 15-20 hours of dual flight time in a single engine aircraft with the possibility of a solo flight for those who meet the competencies.
For all pathways, flight training is offered by our partner Flight Training Adelaide (FTA), located at Parafield Airport, right beside Mawson Lakes campus. We work in close partnership with industry to ensure you will graduate ready to meet the predicted global demand for pilots1.
