Program DetailsProgram Details  
Perth is a very safe flight training environment due to minimal air traffic, sunny and stable weather conditions, and a flat landscape. Singapore Airlines does much of its training in Perth for these reasons. The course provides the theoretical and flight training requirements for the Civil Aviation and Safety Authority (CASA) Private Pilots License (PPL) and Commercial Pilots License (CPL). Incorporated is 150 hours of flight instruction for the CPL. The students also have the option of doing further study for the Airline Transport Pilots License (ATPL) theory exams.
