Pilot Program, Training Resources

Pilot Program training resources and a library of publications are available upon request by students to Airline Academy of Australia Archerfield. These include:

National Aeronautical Information Processing System (NAIPS)

Each student has access to the NAIPS pre-flight briefing programme provided by Air services Australia. This enables each student to obtain meteorological information and lodge flight notifications over the Internet.

Flight Testing & Audits

The corner stone of the Quality / Audit program is external flight testing. In order to accurately gauge the effectiveness of the training syllabus, Airline Cadets Australia ensures all Commercial Pilot Licence and Multi Engine Command Instrument Rating flight tests are conducted by an external testing officer. After each period of flight testing Airline Cadets Australia holds meetings with the testing officer(s) to discuss any standards issues which may arise.

Airline Cadets Australia has engaged the services of Peter Bryant to conduct the flight tests and audits.
