Red Baron Flight Training offers comprehensive flying courses are designed to meet three specific goals:

THE GENERAL FLIGHT PROGRESS TEST - GFPT
The GFPT course is a high-performance training course designed to teach you superior flying skills. Pilots graduate with an ability to operate an aircraft in three dimensions, to fly aerobatics, to spin and recover, to fly all ‘normal’ manoeuvres to a high standard and to carry passengers whilst doing it.
In addition to practical flight training, students will be required to pass a series of theory exams. To enable this Red Baron Flight Training provides students with a number of tutorial sessions at strategic intervals throughout the course, in addition to the extensive pre and post flight briefings associated with each training flight, which are an integral part of learning to fly properly.

PRIVATE PILOT NAVIGATION COURSE - PPL
Australia is a very large country with every conceivable type of terrain, weather conditions and airways procedures. Because of this the Red Baron Flight Training Private Pilot’s Navigation Course is designed to maximise you capacity as a pilot to navigate unfamiliar terrain with confidence.
Before commencing navigation training it is necessary to study Flight Rules and Procedures, Meteorology and Navigation Theory and pass a written PPL exam. Red Baron Flight Training conducts courses in each of these subjects and can facilitate the exam.
With the attainment of your PPL you will be able to navigate around Australia with confidence.

COMMERCIAL PILOTS LICENCE - CPL
For a pilot to charge a fee for flight services they must hold a valid Commercial Pilots Licence (CPL).
To obtain a CPL you need at least 200 hours of flying experience with CASA specified time as pilot in command (solo), cross country and instrument flight time.
CPL students need to complete an Aviation Theory Course – Commercial Pilots License- as well as Meteorology and Navigation Theory (Commercial) and pass the CPL Exam. Theory courses for the CPL may be undertaken at TAFE or private tuition can be arranged.
Red Baron Flight Training customises all practical training to individual requirements.
To fly commercial airliners you must also hold an Air Transport Pilot License (ATPL). Red Baron Flight Training does not currently offer ATPL courses however we can facilitate this level of training.

AEROBATICS
Prior to undertaking postgraduate aerobatic training students must be a graduate of either the Red Baron Flight Training GFPT course or the Red Baron Flight Training Advanced Aircraft Control Course. These entry-level courses provide all pilots with the handling skills necessary to begin serious aerobatic training.
Aerobatic training is conducted in phases.
The Red Baron Flight Training GFPT or AAC course constitutes Phase One. Phase Two includes stall turns and advanced rolling techniques; Phase Three consolidates skills learned into combination manoeuvres and Phase Four concentrates on low level aerobatics. Phases One to Four are conducted in the Robin 2160/ALPHA 160A.

EMERGENCY HANDLING AND ADVANCED AIRCRAFT TRAINING - EMT / AAC
EMERGENCY MANOEUVRE TRAINING COURSE (EMT)
The Emergency Manoeuvre Training Course (EMT) is designed to expose you, the pilot, to the most common mishandling situations so you know where your personal limits lie and how to go beyond those limits in an emergency. This course will allow you to experience extreme and unusual attitudes in a controlled environment, giving you greater confidence in your ability as a pilot and building your awareness of potential dangers BEFORE they happen.
ADVANCED AIRCRAFT CONTROL (AAC)
If you seek to improve your flying, enter the sport of aerobatics or simply enjoy your flying with greater confidence the Red Baron Flight Training AAC course is what you need.
The AAC course is a prerequisite for pilots who wish to undertake further aerobatic training as it lays the foundation of understanding about how planes really fly and how to control them. The Red Baron Flight Training GFPT training course incorporates the AAC course as part of the syllabus.

CRAM – AIRFORCE FLIGHT SCREENING PREPARATION
If you are interested in a career in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) but have never flown a plane before it’s highly recommended you do the Red Baron Flight Training Cram Course. Although flight training experience is not a pre-requisite for an application to the RAAF, being prepared for flight screening by having a few hours flying time under your belt will give you a competitive advantage over other applicants.
