Why Choose Melbourne

Innovation Innovation is central to our training philosophy. From incorporating Multi-Crew Co-operation and First Officer Fundamentals training into our programs, to pioneering the new Multi-Crew Pilot Licence in Hong Kong, CAE Oxford Aviation Academy embraces a culture of continuous innovation.

Corporate Relationships The relationships that we build with our corporate partners are equally as important as the emphasis we place upon delivering top quality, customer-focused pilot training to our students. CAE Oxford Aviation Academy Melbourne has an extensive history of training pilots for Australian Universities, general aviation and major airline customers from the Australian and Asia-Pacific region. In 1998, the Melbourne academy partnered with Qantas to create the Qantas Cadet Pilot Training Program – at the same time pioneering the Multi Crew Co-operation (MCC) course in Australia. Then in 2009, CAE Oxford Aviation Academy was awarded the contract to train airline pilots for Jetstar Australia leading directly from ab initio training into employment as First Officers flying the A320 aircraft. A similar cadet program for Singapore-based carrier, Jetstar Asia, soon followed. More recently, 2011 saw the launch of the Melbourne academy’s first MPL program with Hong Kong-based carrier Dragonair. Significantly, over 5,000 graduates that trained in Melbourne are now employed as flight crew with Australian and overseas airlines – some having trained either as an airline cadet or as part of an Aviation Program with the Swinburne University of Technology with whom the Melbourne academy has been in partnership since 1992.

Training Facilities Our modern training facilities at Moorabbin Airport include ‘state of the art’ classrooms, a modern fleet of EFIS Cessna 172 single engine and Piper PA44 multi engine training aircraft and a fully equipped simulator training centre featuring 5 simulators including a CRJ200 GenJet simulator. Ample student accommodation is available in close proximity to the airport all serviced by Academy transport services. Moorabbin Airport is also constructed with 2 sets of parallel runways, a control tower, Class D airspace and published instrument approach procedures; making it absolutely ideal for airline pilot training in all types of weather conditions.

Modular Training Pathway

The Modular Training Pathway is ideal for those that wish to undertake pilot training as a self-funded student on a more ‘part-time’ basis. The modular pathway is a more flexible alternative to achieving your aspirations to become a pilot. The modular pathway consists of the following programs that can be completed in sequence or trainee pilots can enroll on a course at any level as long as you meet the license pre-requisites: • General Flying Progress Test • Private Pilot License • Commercial Pilot Licence • Multi Engine Command Instrument Rating • Flight Instructor Rating • Combined MCC / JOC

Commercial Pilot Licence

To start a career as a professional pilot you need to hold a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL). Designed to take the student to the next step in their professional piloting career, this course will equip the student with the knowledge and skill required to succeed. CAE Oxford Aviation Academy’s Commercial Pilot Licence Program builds upon your experience as a Private Pilot and combines the additional necessary skills required to fly multi-engine aircraft cross-country to professional standards.
