Agricultural Pilot Training

Working as an agricultural pilot is a demanding job with a high level of flying skills required.

You are working in a multi-hazard area with power-wires, phone wires, electric fence wires, stock crops, dwellings and just to top it off, people who don’t want us spraying.  So it is quite a challenge!!

if you have been brought up on a farm you may find everything in the training syllabus pretty straight forward, but without the farming background, you will have a lot to learn.
