LEARN TO FLY
To continue with Microlight flight training, there is a club membership subscription of $120 per year, a subscription to RAANZ of $120 per year, and aircraft hire of $160 + GST per hour. This price includes instructor.
Note: April 2026 Fuel surcharge. Unfortunately because of fuel prices we have to add a $5 surcharge per hour. Cost is now $165 + GST per hour.
First step is to apply for a Novice pilot license, which includes an Application form, a Fit and Proper Person declaration, and a Medical (DL9), that is obtained from your GP.
RAANZ will verify and issue your membership and first license.
Congratulations, you have now become a Novice pilot.
Theory work is online at: www.raanz.org.nz
Go to Becoming a Pilot, for further explanation.
A RAC (Rodney Aero Club) instructor will guide you through the theory and conduct the online exams, in addition to pre and post flight briefings each session.
As aircraft handling skills develop ( usually after 10 - 20 hours ), and a pass in the Radio and Law exams, you will be able to fly solo in the local area.
After 25 hours of flight, and a Flight Competency test, you can become an Intermediate local Pilot.
After further exams of Metrology, Airmanship, Principals of Flight, Navigation, Cross Country planning, practice of emergency procedures, and a minimum of 45 hours, you can be ready for a flight test for an Advanced License, and Passenger rating.
Attaining a Microlight license is just the beginning of a new experience.
Being able to book and hire the club aircraft offers a wonderful freedom and flight skills and experience will grow with association of other club members and ongoing skills development with your instructor.
Please contact us at email admin@rac.nz to book.
Enjoy
