 Facilities

On the ground:

Ground servicing facilities called Fixed Base Operations (FBO) are available at most airports. They serve the aviation industry, including private operators, military and government agencies etc. Most FBOs are available 24/7 and offer fueling, pilot’s lounges and resting facilities, restaurants and complimentary beverages, service cars for close proximity trips for dining or shopping, planning and briefing rooms including computer and free internet/Wi-Fi.

In the Air:

Air Traffic Control (ATC) and navigational equipment like VOR’s, VORTAC’s and GPS are widely available across all the USA (unlike Australia) which makes your flight much safer and easier for planning and flying. ATC is available 24/7 and will be very helpful on request including providing flight following services that will give you additional safety measurement to your flights.

Work opportunities

In addition to all other advantages, more potential employers prefer an FAA licenced pilot, which allows you to fly in North America, South America, Asia, Oceania and the Middle East.

Night Flying

In the USA, you can fly at night without additional training and licencing requirements, unlike Australia.

The USA is one huge adventure, and when it comes to flying, it’s as easy and inviting as it gets. You can literally drop your marker on the map and go, from the Grand Canyon to Niagara Falls, see the NYC skyline and the Golden Gate Bridge – all you need is a licence and a plane
