Recreational Pilot Licence (RPL)
Learn to fly for fun! This licence permits you to carry passengers while acting as pilot in command. Flights are restricted to smaller piston powered aircraft and can be no further than 25 nautical miles from your departure aerodrome. However, these restrictions can be lifted through additional endorsements added to your RPL(H).
To successfully complete the RPL(H) you must:
• Be at least 16 years of age at the time of licence issue
• Hold a medical clearance appropriate for the RPL
• Have completed a minimum total of 25 hours flying, including at least 5 hours of solo flight
​
• Have passed a RPL(H) flight test and theory knowledge exam as set by CASA and conducted by a CASA approved examiner.

Extend your RPL flight privileges with additional endorsements, including Navigation, and Controlled Airspace & Aerodrome
