FLIGHT TRAINING
AUSTRALIA'S LEADING HELICOPTER PILOT SCHOOL
CHOPPERLINE FLIGHT TRAINING offers comprehensive Ground and Flight Training on both Rotary and Fixed Wing aircraft and is the largest and most successful such organisation in Australia. We are an international training organisation teaching both overseas and Australian students. Our flight training operations alone have exceeded 9,000 flying hours per year.
CHOPPERLINE FLIGHT TRAINING provides diversified and specialised aviation services throughout Australia and internationally in the fields of Flight Training, Helicopter Operations, Sales and Broking.
VETEC/DEET ACCREDITED COURSES
CHOPPERLINE FLIGHT TRAINING is fully approved by the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority and a number of foreign countries including the Malaysian Department of Civil Aviation. Our courses are also recognised by the Australian Department of Employment, Education and Training and by the Vocational, Education Training and Employment Commission. We offer Certificate III and IV courses in Aviation, helicopter and fixed wing in conjunction with commercial and private licences.
EXCELLENT TRAINING ENVIRONMENT, LOCATION AND FACILITIES
Caloundra, situated 36 nautical miles north of Brisbane on the Sunshine Coast, provides the best location in Australia (and perhaps the world) for flying training. Our location, away from congested city airspace but close to mountains, bushland, navigation aids and controlled airspace, is ideal. You will obtain the maximum benefit from every hour of your flying training. Our training area is located right at the aerodrome, with areas for low flying, confined area training and pinnacle work close by.
The Flying School has excellent air-conditioned training facilities, including classrooms, briefing rooms, office and administration areas.
RELAXATION
Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast is one of Australia's most popular holiday destinations. There are many activities available for you to enjoy in your spare time. Swimming, surfing, windsurfing, sailing, golf, go-carting indoor sports or visiting local attractions are just some of the ways you can spend your leisure. At the school we have regular social functions where you will have the opportunity to enjoy the company of other students, instructors and Chopperline staff.
FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE
At CHOPPERLINE FLIGHT TRAINING you will find a welcome and friendly group of staff and students. You will meet and study with students from all walks of life and different parts of the world. As we have a number of students studying at the same time you can study together, helping each other to progress.
INDIVIDUAL INSTRUCTION
Our policy is to provide you with the one instructor during each phase of your training. However as we have a number of instructors you are able to change instructor and take the opportunity to benefit from flying with more than one instructor if you prefer.
ON SCHEDULE TRAINING
We realise that your time is valuable. We offer completely coordinated Ground and Flight Training to enable you to complete your course in the minimum time, consistent with giving you the best quality training. We have the staff and resources to ensure you complete your training ON-TIME.
COMPLETE GROUND AND FLIGHT TRAINING
Your course of coordinated ground and flight training, including all theory examinations and flight tests, is conducted at our Caloundra Flying School. Every facility you require for your training is available at the one convenient location. The major advantage to you is the fact that every instructor is aware of your overall progress and special requirements and you are therefore assured of the best possible continuity in your training.
MODERN AIRCRAFT
Our training fleet consists of Robinson R22 Helicopters, the world's most modern civil training helicopter and Cessna 172 aeroplanes. A number of additional aircraft types are also available for training and endorsement.
INTEGRATED ROTARY AND FIXED WING TRAINING
If you wish to complete a Commercial Helicopter Licence we have two options for you to choose from. The Combined fixed wing/rotary course allows you to gain your Private Aeroplane Licence as well as a Commercial Helicopter Licence and the advantage of being able to fly both aeroplane and helicopters. The cost is actually less than the cost of a helicopter course. We also offer 105 hour helicopter course for those wishing only to do rotary training.
