GENERAL FLYING MANOEOVRES

General Flying Progress Test

The General Flying Progress Test (GFPT) will be the first endorsement on your Student Pilot Licence. Until this stage you are not authorized to carry any passengers on your flights. Once you have passed the GFPT you may carry passengers to and from the training area during solo flights. You will still be limited to a confined training area and your instructor must authorize all flights.

Before you undertake the test you are required to pass the Basic Aeronautical Knowledge theory examination. You will also need to have at least 20 hours flight time, which includes 5 hours as pilot in command and 2 hours instrument time. On average students are usually ready to attempt the GFPT Flight test at around 30 Hours.

Flight Test

The test will be conducted by an Approved Testing Officer of the CASA, to whom you must demonstrate your ability to competently manage the aircraft in all the basic phases of flight

A student who successfully completes the GFPT is permitted to fly within the confines of the Moorabbin training area with passengers, by day only.

*Estimated cost to obtain your GFPT:

The Cessna C150 is a two-seater aircraft and the Piper PA28 Warrior is a four-seater aircraft, both aircraft are excellent for training. Both types are fitted with electronic intercom to reduce noise and provide more effective instruction.

Above is a cost estimate based upon the minimum training hours required by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority for the issue of a G.F.P.T. The above cost does not include any text books or theory cost's. It should be emphasized that this is a guide only and is not to be taken as a formal quote since the actual training times required will depend upon many factors, especially personal ability.

*Prices are subject to change and are plus GST if applicable. All Landing and Towers fees excluding Ayers Rock, Essendon, Avalon and Capital City Primary Airports are included in the estimate.*
