Project Description
Endorsements
Thomas Aviation conducts flight training for the issue of Manual Pitch Propeller Control (MPPC), Retractable Undercarriage (RU) and Tailwheel Undercarriage (TWU) endorsements.
The MPPC endorsement is required to operate aircraft for the issue of a Commercial Pilot Licence like a Cessna 182.
A Tailwheel Undercarriage Endorsement (TWU) will let you fly aircraft with a tail wheel instead of the standard tricycle undercarriage. You will achieve a far greater awareness of Centre of Gravity, slide-slipping and crosswind take-offs and landings.
Tailwheel Undercarriage training is conducted in our Cessna 180 which is a great bush flying aircraft. You will have the opportunity to experience flying into short bush strips with our experienced instructors throughout the Tailwheel endorsement.
All endorsements are issued by our Instructors without the need for a flight test as it is all competency based. Depending on your skill level you can complete the training prior to our syllabus hours. Please contact us if you require more information.
Popular Courses
Trial Introductory Flight
A Trial Introductory Flight (TIF) is a great way to experience flying an aircraft for the first time with an instructor. It will be structured like a flight lesson with a pre and post flight briefing and you will have the chance to operate the flight controls yourself under the guidance of a flight instructor.
Recreational Pilot Licence
The Recreational Pilot Licence (RPL) course is the first step in becoming a pilot. Upon completion of this course, the RPL authorises you to fly as pilot in command of a single engine aircraft during the day with passengers.
Private Pilot Licence
The Private Pilot Licence (PPL) allows you to fly as pilot in command of a single engine aircraft anywhere in Australia. It is a milestone for any pilot and your first trip with your friends and family after completing this course will be something to look forward to!
