The Academy is structured and staffed with the aim of providing the highest levels of ground instruction and flying tuition. The Academy offers an environment where the cadet pilot is supported by a mentor program and a dedicated flying instructor. Cadets are teamed with instructors and other cadets so that CRM and TEM concepts and disciplines are introduced at the very beginning of flying training. Situated on a busy controlled airport the Academy offers a mix of open training areas for ab initio training in addition to the more demanding training in busy controlled airspace. Brisbane boasts consistently good weather with few extremes in temperature or rainfall. This optimizes available training time and provides reliable access to a variety of terrain, landing areas and conditions which are generally not available elsewhere in Australia. Apart from flying training Brisbane offers an exceptional lifestyle. The Academy’s instructors are well qualified and experienced in airline type instruction and have backgrounds in Qantas, the Air Force, the Queensland Government Air Wing and a number of Australian regional airlines. A number of the instructional staff have undertaken specialist training at Boeing’s facility in Seattle on instructional technique, CRM and TEM. The Academy offers a number of Certificate, Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses covering all Commercial Pilot Licence, Multi Engine Command Instrument Rating and Flight Instructor Rating levels.
