Pro-sky Maryborough
Pro-Sky Maryborough is located at the Airport, Saltwater Creek Road Maryborough Queensland.
Maryborough is ideally located on the picturesque Mary River in the Fraser Coast / Wide Bay region, just a short flight to Hervey Bay, Fraser Island and the spectacular waterways of Great Sandy Strait. The magnificent scenery of this area makes for a truly memorable flying experience.
Training
Learning to fly is not as difficult or as expensive as you may think. Most people start with a Trial Instructional Flight (TIF). Our TIF’s are at least 20 minutes and you will be doing most of the flying during that time.
Getting Your License
Initially you will require a Student Pilot Licence and conduct a minimum of 20 hours flight training. On completion of the course you will be issued with a Recreational Pilot’s Certificate. This will allow you to journey up to 25 nautical miles from your point of departure.
Medical Requirements
The basic medical requirement is that your health meets the requirements necessary to hold a car driver’s licence. This significant concession allows people to fly who would otherwise be grounded in General Aviation. RA-Aus flight instructors, however, must hold a valid General Aviation pilot’s medical certificate.
General health considerations are basically common sense. Do not fly when under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Some medications present no problem but consult your doctor if in doubt. You should avoid flying when taking prescription drugs that affect your orientation, vision or alertness, for example some antihistamines cause drowsiness. If you wear bifocal glasses, or have just changed your glasses, it may be wise to check that your vision is OK. This is not particularly visual acuity but more about any impairment to perception of height (and changing height) near the ground.
Any Age Limits
A person must have attained the age of fifteen to fly solo, but can commence training prior to turning fifteen. There is no upper limits to age providing the person meets the medical standard to hold an RAaus pilot Certificate.
