What license do I need to fly an electric aircraft?
LEARN TO FLY IN A ZERO-EMISSIONS PIPISTREL ALPHA ELECTRO ELECTRIC AIRCRAFT!
We are working hard to offer the most attractive flight school in the country, not only have we lowered the barrier to entry by keeping the cost more efficient than it ever has been before, but our RA-AUS certified pilots emerge from the school with two extra endorsements that aren't typical of other schools, a Controlled aerodrome radio endorsement and an Electric aircraft endorsement!You can then add on a further RPL conversion, a navigation endorsement and controlled airspace endorsement which will let you fly a single engine aircraft of up to 1500kg MTOW with multiple passengers anywhere in Australia if you have a Class 1 or 2 medical certificate!
The first step, the RA-AUS certificate, which gives you solo flight capabilities (or passenger endorsement if you have a Class 1 or 2 medical certificate) with a MTOW of 600kg and a range of 25NM from your point of departure, costs around AUD$10K, (20-25 hours training for most people) and can be completed between 2-50 weeks. The school operates 7 days a week so we can fit in lessons and flights for you anytime to suit your schedule (and sometimes the weather).This will suit most of the light sport electric aircraft we will have available for pay-per-use for our Alumni and Alumna on the Lilypad elevate network.. a network of pay-per-use aircraft and charge nodes at air fields and metro vertiports that are less than 25NM apart, including the currently 'Available-for-hire' Pipistrel Alpha Electro 2 seater light sport aircraft.

Recreational Pilot Certificate (RPC)A Recreational Pilot Certificate is issued by RA-Aus and allows you to fly two seat aircraft during daylight hours only and up to a Maximum Take Off Weight of 600kg. This is completed in a RA-Aus registered aircraft such as our Pipistrel Alpha Electro trainer and is much cheaper than completing a 'RPL' (below), but can be converted to an RPL after completion.The FlyOnE Skycademy™ will fast-track you through the below process with experienced flight instructors that have thousands of hours of instruction history. An astute and dedicated student can safely achieve their RA-Aus certificate for solo flight capability in as little as 8 weeks for an estimated cost of between AUD$10,000 and AUD$12,000 (varies depending on the number of training hours required to develop competency in all areas*). All hours accumulated achiving an RPC count towards an RPL, PPL and CPL.
Recreational Pilot Licence (RPL) A Recreational Pilot Licence is issued by CASA and allows you to fly aircraft in daylight hours only up to Maximum Take Off Weight of 1500kg. An RPL is typically completed in a GA registered aircraft which can be $100-$150 per hour more to fly than our Alpha trainer. After completing an RPC, you can convert to an RPL with our certified training partner in Jandakot, Cloud Dancer Aviation, Allowing you to continue furthering your career qualifications to a PPL or CPL.

If a kit is used, the builder must have completed the majority of the build for it to be considered an amateur-built aircraft. Experimental and amateur-built aircraft include any aircraft that is fabricated and assembled by anyone for their own education and/or recreation. Our Macchina Volantis FC 4/5 model fits under this classification as it will be (51% or more) assembled by the owner/operator of the aircraft under supervision from the mV engineers in an Australian manufacturing facility. To gain the required level of competency to fly this aircraft safely, we recommend a minimum RPL level of experience before flying the Macchina Volantis FC 4/5.
- Self-built experimental aircraft can be registered with CASA as VH registered aircraft. If they meet certain performance, weight and design specifications such as with the mV FC4/5, they can be registered with a self-administering organisation. FlyOnE is developing a premium immersion experience to provide support for aircraft owner/builders through training, test flights and airworthiness administration and approval processes. By including the owner/operator in the production process, we can not only get you in the air safely and legally long before legislation catches up with our technology, but it will also give the owner/operator a better understanding of the fundamental systems and operating components of the aircraft For further information, please visit https://www.casa.gov.au/aircraft/sport-aviation/amateur-built-and-experimental-aircraft
- *Based on the minimum required hours of assisted instruction for RPL completion. Some students may require more time in the training aircraft with an instructor which will incur additional costs.
