Special Pilot Licence in Australia

Hempels Aviation Pty Ltd welcome enquiries from Overseas pilots to convert to a Special Pilot Licence in Australia. Overseas pilots wishing to hire Hempels Aviation aircraft, and who have an overseas licence must be aware of the following details pertaining to a conversion to a Special Pilots Licence.

Clients will have to organise their individual country's Aviation Authority to contact the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (C.A.S.A.) to provide details for a Special Pilots Licence (SPL). This can be done by emailing the following C.A.S.A. contact. You will need to commence this process 4 - 6 months prior to arriving in Australia. Click on the link to contact C.A.S.A:

Conversion to a Full Private Australian Pilot Licence

You will be required to undertake a medical examination with one of the C.A.S.A. approved medical examiners, pass an "Air Legislation" exam and Private Pilot Licence (PPL) flight test before the licence can be issued. In all cases an aircraft flight review is required before hiring an Aircraft.

The following aircraft are available for overseas hire:
Cessna 172 (4 seats) - 110 knots IAS
Cessna 182 (4 seats) - 125 knots IAS
Piper Cherokee 140 PA 28 (4 seats) - 160 horse power - 110 knots IAS

Aircraft hire rates can be viewed at this link Hire and Charter Price List. GST of 10% applies to all private hire operations. Landing fees and parking fees at individual airports will apply as well including a standard Archerfield Airport Landing Fee. Fuel Differential (usually around 0.30c/L) will also apply compared to the current Archerfield rate at the time of hire.

Australia is a big country and Hempels staff will gladly organise all flight plans, and the purchase of maps and charts. We will advise you of the best routes to take and what places are best for re-fuelling and sight-seeing. We have had hundreds of happy clients who have come from overseas to hire our aircraft and we would be glad to assist you on your Australian holiday.

If your arrival date in Australia does not allow for the 4 - 6 month lead time required by C.A.S.A. for the Special Pilot Licence, Hempels Aviation would be happy to provide you with a fully accredited Australian Safety Pilot to fly with you, allowing you to still fly our aircraft in Australia.
