Industry-focused post-CPL training for pilots seeking practical experience in aircraft commonly used by general aviation operators.

Move beyond the training fleet. Build experience employers can use.

The Cessna 210 GA Readiness Course has been developed to improve employment readiness for newly qualified and developing commercial pilots, including Flight One graduates and pilots trained elsewhere. It provides structured experience in the Cessna 210 — a capable, relatively advanced single-engine aircraft commonly used by general aviation operators, particularly across Western Australia, the Northern Territory and northern Queensland.

Flight One developed the programme in response to direct feedback from general aviation employers. Operators often find that new CPL holders have the required licence and total flight time, but limited experience in larger piston singles and little exposure to the practical demands of charter-style operations. The course is designed to close that gap.

Two core options are available. The first focuses on general Cessna 210 competency, combining theory with approximately four hours of dual flying to develop safe aircraft handling. The second includes this foundation plus three commercial-style cross-country exercises using simulated passenger and cargo payloads, away airfields including grass strips, and rapid turn-around scenarios. This extended option takes the pilot to approximately 10 hours on type, a level commonly sought by insurers before permitting command operations and attractive to employers operating aircraft such as the Cessna 206 and 210.

This Programme Includes
Cessna 210 dual flight training | Theory and briefing | Competency assessment | Commercial-style cross-country exercises | Simulated passenger and cargo operations | Away-airfield and grass-strip experience

Whether you’re flying recreationally or using your PPL as a stepping stone to advanced training, Flight One equips you with the expertise and confidence to take to the skies.

The Flight One CASA Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) course is perfect for students who want to take the next step toward becoming a professional pilot at their own pace. Whether you’re self-funded or managing other commitments, Flight One offers flexible training options to fit your schedule. With expert instructors, modern aircraft, and a clear, practical approach to learning, you’ll gain the skills and confidence to fly commercially.

A Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) allows you to work as a professional pilot, getting paid to fly in roles like charter operations, flight instruction, or airline services. Unlike a Private Pilot Licence (PPL), which is designed for personal or recreational flying, a CPL equips you with the advanced skills and qualifications needed to operate in commercial aviation. With a CPL, you can fly larger and more complex aircraft, carry passengers or cargo for hire, and access more job opportunities in the aviation industry. It’s the essential next step if you’re aiming for a career as a pilot.

Flight One’s CASA Instrument Rating course is designed to equip pilots with the skills necessary to operate aircraft under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), enabling safe flight in various weather conditions and reduced visibility. The program includes comprehensive ground school theory classes to prepare for the Instrument Rating exam (IREX), as well as practical training using Flight One’s modern fleet and CASA-certified Alsim flight simulator. The course also optionally integrates a multi-engine class rating, providing valuable experience and expanding career opportunities in charter work, flight instructing, medical services, and emergency operations.
