Suggested Learning Packages
Your approach to training is entirely your choice and at Western Flight Training, we’ll work with you to offer flexible training options.
We specialise in tailor-made flight training solutions to suit you.
Some common options include:
Part Time Training
Modular / Block Training
Total Immersion Training
Part Time Training
The steady approach to training for those based in the Central West. This training is for those who want to learn to fly or add a rating or endorsement while balancing existing work/life priorities.
This allows you the time to study, absorb your training and prepare for your next lesson.
If you can commit to regular lessons, you can earn your RPL and PPL in around 12 months.
Modular / Block Training
Shorter blocks of full-time training towards any practical or theoretical flying licence, rating or endorsement.
This learning approach suits those who can spare anything from a weekend to a week at a time on a semi-regular basis to train towards a licence, rating or endorsement.
Some find it difficult to get learning traction with short lessons at regular intervals (weekly or fortnightly). If that sounds like you, then consider getting away to Bathurst every now and then to build towards your aviation goal with modular training.
Learning takes place in intense bursts, ensuring a clearer sense of progress, but with the advantage that the break between stages can be used for revision, self-study and consolidation of learnings. You can undertake theory study on your own and prepare for subsequent lessons, thereby improving the value you get out of your time in the air. You could still expect to complete your RPL or PPL in a matter of months if you dedicated a weekend or a week per month to training.
Total Immersion Training
Full time, one-on-one, intense practical and theoretical training towards any licence, rating or endorsement.
This training suits those who desire to learn intensively or who are on a tight timetable. It does require significant investment in the short-term but you can expect to complete your Recreational Pilot Licence (RPL) in as little as 2 weeks and your Private Pilot Licence (PPL) in only 4 weeks. You will need to commit to full-time training.
We can also structure total immersion training for your commercial licence as well as advanced ratings and endorsements.
The actual time required will depend on the training goal and your learning ability but you can be sure of an intense, rewarding learning experience that will be, ultimately, very time and cost effective.
