Have You Ever Wanted to Become a Pilot?
Learning to fly is more achievable than you might think! You can commence your journey as soon as you’re tall enough to reach the controls, achieving your RAAus Pilot Certificate from the age of 15—before even acquiring a driver’s licence. So, whether you’re a student, an adventurer seeking new experiences, or a retiree looking to fill your free time with excitement, RAAus ensures that learning to fly is an accessible and realistic goal.
Free Temporary Membership
Our free temporary membership will give you a taste of all things RAAus for up to 3 months. You’ll be able to book in a trial introductory flight with your local flight training school for up to three hours of flight time plus you’ll also get automatic access to the members portal, knowledge base and also our online training courses.

Benefits of Membership
As a member of RAAus you enjoy four crucial benefits that set RAAus aside from the general aviation sector.
None of these benefits exist in the general aviation sector, making RAAus the obvious choice for recreational pilots.
-
Administrative Representation
As an RAAus member, we do the work dealing with CASA for you. We oversee your training, aircraft maintenance, and medical standards.
We are also in constant contact with CASA, working to protect your privileges and ensure you enjoy a simple, yet safe rule set.
-
Simplified Medical Regime
RAAus has a simple self-declaration medical system in place. All you have to do is self-declare with us that you are fit to fly. There are some restrictions, but a healthy person between the age of 15 and 75 can fly without complex and costly medical check-ups.
-
Maintenance Training
Our maintenance regime for owner operated aircraft is unmatched in Australia. By undertaking some simple training with RAAus, you can enjoy the freedom of maintaining your own aircraft.
-
Comprehensive Coverage
RAAus members enjoy comprehensive third party property damage and passenger insurance coverage. As a member of RAAus, you are automatically covered by a $20M public liability policy and a $250,000 passenger policy.
