Aviation in Australia
For many years Australia has been one of the worlds leading Aviation countries with the Australian CPL highly regarded around the world and recognised by the ICAO. Many airline pilots flying for major airlines around the world started their career by obtaining their Australian CPL.
 AWA offers students a CASA AVI40108 Certificate IV in Aviation (Commercial Pilot Aeroplane Licence), a Diploma of Aviation incorporating a Command Multi Engine Instrument Rating (MECIR). Our syllabus is specifically tailored to "placing the student in the right hand seat of a commercial multi crew transport aircraft". We incorporate multi crew call outs and airline style checklists from the start of the pilots training.
Some of the most modern Air Traffic Control systems have been implemented in Australia. This provides ideal training conditions as the skies are not yet crowded, disrupting training with high traffic conditions.
Australian Wings Academy provides students with access to a large fleet of aircraft enabling students to get through the course in the shortest possible time. Australia has no limits to the numbers of students to pass exams and no quotas to the numbers of licences issued.
Now more than ever, studying in Australia at Australian Wings Academy compares very favorably with studying in the United States or elsewhere.
