About Us
The Royal Aero Club of Western Australia has been training both private and professional pilots since 1929. Being able to fly is a challenging and exciting pastime, or a rewarding career.
Your training is conducted by professional flying instructors to the highest standards of safety and proficiency. The Royal Aero Club environment is friendly and relaxed, where flying instructors and members are only too willing to share their knowledge with you.
Learning to fly is often considered expensive however, when examined objectively against other sports, hobbies or career qualifications, the cost of becoming a pilot to the motivated person is quite reasonable.
