Echuca Moama Aero Club × Moorabbin Aviation Services

For the full General Aviation pathway — RPL, PPL, CPL, instrument and multi-engine ratings — we've partnered with Moorabbin Aviation Services, one of Australia's longest-established CASA-approved flight training organisations (Part 141 / Part 142, RTO 22495, CRICOS 02530B). Established in 1990 as the Australian National Airline College, MAS has trained pilots across every level from first solo through to airline cadetships.

The result: you start at YECH with EMAC, do your RAAus RPC, then transition straight into a CASA pathway with MAS instructors — no need to leave the friendly club on the Murray to chase the bigger licence. Talk to us about how to structure your training to minimise duplication.

Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL)

For pilots who want to fly for hire or reward — charter, instructing, agricultural, aerial work, airline pathway. CPL is delivered exclusively through MAS, typically over 12-18 months full-time or longer part-time.

• Min hours: 150 (integrated course) or 200 (non-integrated)
• Theory: 7 CPL theory subjects, each with CASA exam
• Medical: CASA Class 1 mandatory
• MAS delivers: integrated AVI50222 Diploma of Aviation (CPL Aeroplane) and stand-alone CPL training
• Aircraft used: EMAC and MAS fleet — training conducted at Echuca (YECH) or Moorabbin as operationally required

Already have RAAus hours? Up to 150 hours of RAAus PIC time can be credited toward the CPL aeronautical experience requirement. We'll help you structure your training so nothing is wasted.
