RA-AUS to GA Conversion
RAA Conversion to GA
At Great Southern Flying School we have highly experienced Senior instructors capable of training students to both RA-Aus Certificate and CASA Licence standards.
Do you hold a RA-Aus Recreational Pilot’s Certificate (RPC) and are wanting to convert to General Aviation? We have a dedicated program to make this a reality.
Holding GA qualifications opens the door to more advanced flight training such as a night rating, instrument rating, aerobatics, or a commercial pilot licence.
Converting your RA-Aus Certificate to a Recreational Pilot Licence and progressing to a Private Pilot’s Licence will enable you fly bigger, more capable and complex aircraft with more than 2 seats.
Holding a Private Pilot’s Licence allows you to have the option of training to complete a Night VFR Rating or a Private Instrument Rating in the future.

- RPL conversion – minimum 16 years of age
- PPL conversion – minimum 17 years of age
