THEORY TRAINING
Like it or loathe it…
…understanding the “Underpinning Knowledge” of aviation is a pivotal part of being a good pilot
or even going one step further, becoming an “Aviator”. There is so much to learn and it may not be just about the “Hands and Feet” part of aviation. Passing the CASA or RAAus exams is only the tip of the iceberg.
A good pilot will want to learn more about flying and an aviator will want to learn about all things aviation.
Here at Strike Aviation Training, we want to help pilots achieve their goals
and become the best they want to be.
It really is up to you to meet the minimums, and we are here to help you transcend
the basic pilot skill set and challenge you to be a better pilot …
… and ultimately perhaps an AVIATOR.
See below for our series of planned theory training courses.

rpc theory
Starting your flying journey or just want a refresher? Theory exams are a vital part of becoming a safe and competent pilot, however studying the content by yourself can sometimes be confusing. Completing the practical in-flight training but still have required exams outstanding can be frustrating.
We decided to break the theory training into “Bite-Sized Chunks”. Keep an eye on the calendar of events and together, we will review Aircraft Systems, BAK, Air Law and Aircraft Radio Knowledge. Additionally, we will cover the important subject of Human Factors.
During the training you will be able to sit all the required exams for the issue of an RAAus - Recreational Pilot Certificate (RPC)

aircraft owners 101
AHHhhhhh.. the dream of owning your own aircraft. Free to fly any time without booking and paying those aircraft hire rates. Pop down to the hangar, clean the windscreen and blast off, enjoying the freedom that is aviation, put her back in the hangar and home by Lunch. Living the dream!!
If you think this is the reality of aircraft ownership, I would suggest keep renting.

SCHEDULE 8 MAINTENANCE
CAR Schedule 8 permits pilots to carry out a definitive list of maintenance tasks on their aircraft.
However, pilots are responsible for ensuring they are familiar with, and can satisfactorily comply with, any manufacturer’s instructions regarding the maintenance before undertaking any of the tasks identified. CASA and RAAus strongly recommends guidance should be sought by pilots from a relevant Part 66 LAME on the correct aircraft maintenance practices and procedures.
This 2 day course will cover the requirements and provide the hands-on training for a cross-section of tasks. A Certificate of Completion will be provided which may help Commercial pilots "standout from the crowd" when looking for a job.

NAVIGATION THEORY
Are you ready to explore beyond the 25nm? Have your cross country endorsement and would like refresher training?
Learn flight navigation from our CFI, Karen who created maps in her previous career.
You will learn tips and tricks about map reading, weather, flight planning, diversions, lost procedure, EFB’s and more!
Course will run for one day for approximately 6 hours. There is a maximum of 3 students for this course.
MAINTENANCE PLANNING
To get the best from your aircraft, knowing how to schedule maintenance is a skill that will not only improve safety and compliance, but it will also save you $$$ in the long run. Performing the appropriate maintenance when it recommended by the manufacturer will provide product longevity and should add value to your investment.
If you are an owner or a maintainer and you feel you are not performing the most effective maintenance, you need to do this course.
As a bonus, this course will discuss important information like how to read an Airworthiness Directive and a Service Bulletin and where to find the maintenance data that is applicable to your aircraft.
LOSS OF CONTROL
PREVENTION - PILOT
UPRT has been associated for quite some time with Airlines however, there is much work being carried out to investigate the root cause of a Loss of Control events, and it is not limited to airlines. In fact, Recreational and General Aviation have a much higher loss of life record than commercial operations.
Join us for a full 2 Day basic UPRT Course where you will review and further understand aerodynamics that matter - what you need to know in the cockpit, not in a text book.
The course includes 2Hrs of flying, where you will not only hone your basic skills, but you will put to work the "Aerodynamic Cockpit Concepts" learnt, and finish the course more confident and competent than when you started.

DELIVERING “THE FIRST FIVE”
UPRT has been associated for quite some time with Airlines however, there is much work being carried out to investigate the root cause of a Loss of Control events, and it is not limited to airlines. In fact, there are far to many LOC-I events occurring with Flight Instructors onboard.
Join us for an immersive 2 Day Flight Instructor course - targeting LOC-I delivery for both RAAus and GA Flight Instructors. Together, we will challenge conventional thinking, exploring and enhancing your personal instructional skills. This will build confidence and empower you to confidently deliver "Primacy" for students to instinctively react appropriately to a potential LOC-I event.
You will spend 2Hrs in our aerobatic Decathlon building the skills necessary to train for the crucial "FIRST FIVE" lessons of a pilots career.
