Learning to Fly 
'''

   Viewers can access a basic location list (extracted from the RA-Aus data base as a PDF document) with CFI names and telephone contacts, for the 161 RA-Aus approved Flight Training Facilities with their base locations. In addition there are usually 8–12 satellite FTFs — shown on that list in italics under the parent school. Another data base extract, also a PDF document, provides mail and email addresses for the FTFs.

(We use the Flight Training Facility term to legally distinguish RA-Aus approved flight schools from those general aviation Flying Schools issued with a CASA Air Operator's Certificate. Some CASA Flying Schools also operate as RA-Aus approved Flight Training Facilities and will appear in the following list.)

PDF listings of the personnel currently associated with RA-Aus flight training can be found via the following links:

      •   Regional Operations Co-ordinators
      •   Pilot Examiners
      •   Chief Flying Instructors
      •   Senior Instructors
      •   Instructors

The table below lists the FTF and satellite FTF names and/or locations. Those highlighted are linked to their website (where known) or to a standard RA-Aus Web service information page on our server. Those information pages may also include a link to an FTF's external website — if such exists.

The following list of known Flight Training Facilities. To advise additions or amendments to the FTF information please contact the Operations/Technical Assistant.
