Recreational Pilots Certificate
A Recreational Pilots Certificate allows you to fly a two seater sport airplane in uncontrolled airspace anywhere in Australia. Recreational flying is an excellent way of gaining valuable aviation experience and all flight hours count towards your private or commercial pilots license. No medical examination is required. If you are medically fit to drive a car, you can start your training without delay.
WatsonFly Flight School offers basic licenses and conversions from other licenses such as glider, jet, helicopter etc. All training is conducted by a former Royal Australian Air Force pilot with over 8,000 hours and 20 years flight training experience.
Further advanced training after you qualify for your license also available in areas such as mustering, formation flying, short field and low flying techniques.
Our approach to flying training has always been to meet 4 criteria:
“I got my certificate over 8 years ago in the old jab with Ron when I was 66 years old, and I could not recommend a better instructor than him He was always very patient and didn't bite my head off if I made a mistake. Also I got to fly all over the place in north qld and seen some of the best scenery enroute, even did a nav up to Cooktown. So if you’re looking to add flying to your bucket list. I can thoroughly recommend Watsonfly Flight Training.”

“I did my flight training with Ron at Watson fly. Ron is a great instructor and has an extremely vast range of skills and knowledge to draw upon. Ron made the whole experience very relaxing and spent lots of time before and after flights answering my many questions. The Pipistrel aircraft was amazing to learn in. Extremely safe and even has a ballistic parachute. It’s very easy to fly and comfortable to be in. If your looking at getting into aviation I highly recommend Ron at WatsonFly.”
