WHY CHOOSE
BASAIR?
We are Australia's leading flight training organisation
Established in 1991, we have graduated hundreds of commercial pilots who are now enjoying careers in airlines, business jets, seaplanes, charter flight, agricultural flying and as flight test examiners.
Our success is seen in our high employment rates
Basair is focused on producing life-long learners, who improve with every flight to master their art. This has long been recognised in the industry, which is seen in our graduate’s employment rates; 94% of our Flight Instructor Rating graduates and 85% of our Multi Engine Instrument Rating graduates have got a job as a pilot.
High Quality Education
Our success, and the success of our graduates, is due to our focus on education. Our approach goes beyond simply ‘training’ but education through tightly integrating theoretical knowledge with practical flight training, so students develop a deeper understanding. With small class sizes, dedicated instructors, and a supportive learning environment, we provide the personal attention needed to help each student build confidence and capability.
We also place strong emphasis on the non-technical skills essential to safe and professional flying, including situational awareness, decision-making, and workload management. Through the use of case studies and applied learning, students are taught to connect theory with real operational situations and develop the judgement required in the cockpit. Together with our strong CASA exam pass rates, this reflects a training philosophy focused on producing capable, professional, and career-ready pilots.
Basair combines integrated theory and flight training with small class sizes and a strong focus on judgement, situational awareness, and decision-making. The resulting excellent CASA flight test and exam pass rates, our approach helps aspiring pilots become skilled, confident, and professional.
Small Class Sizes
Our commitment to education is reflected in the way we structure our classes. Small class sizes are one of the most important factors in supporting effective teaching, strong student engagement, and better learning outcomes. Because we offer course start dates every four weeks, we are able to keep classes small and give students more individual attention throughout their training.

With course start dates every four weeks, we are able to maintain smaller classes and provide students with more personalised support throughout their training.
We train our students in industry specific aircraft
Our fleet is carefully tailored to ensure our students gain experience during training that will result in them being employed after training. We fly the Cessna and Piper aircraft that you will be flying in your first job – giving you the advantage in the job market, and every chance of succeeding once hired.
Our course structure is integrated
Our world-class curriculum is designed to blend theory and practice; consolidating and reinforcing learnings to produce expert pilots. Our Units of Study are 4 weeks long, providing regular checkpoints to ensure each student progresses quickly, without falling behind
We are a CASA 142 approved organisation
As one of the few 142 approved training organisations in the country, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority allows Basair to train pilots to a commercial standard in only 150 hours of flight, as opposed to the 200 hours usually required.

Captain Kanak Chandramohan
Captain, IndiGo
Basair Aviation College has a great reputation. I have seen hundreds of students become successful pilots. The theory and flight training provided by Basair Aviation College set itself apart from other schools. The training I received prepared me for my career today. I am very fortunate to have such a great job and as per the famous saying – ‘the sky is my office’!
Aditya Kothari
First Officer, SpiceJet
“I was exposed to the other side of aviation too. Not just flying, but the management side as well. The IFR exposure I received once I pushed through the ranks was next to none, which set me up perfectly for the airlines. It only took me 2 years to get to Grade 1 and get some IFR work. The fast progression and exposure really shaped my career. I became a professional, not just a pilot.”

“The instructor rating I did at Basair really made my career. My colleagues have always seen capabilities in me that I developed as an instructor – specifically the Non Technical skills and have streamlined my progress because of it, because ultimately they want training captains.”

”It’s a mindset, I learnt it at Basair. I sometimes pass a sim check and I just want to get back in there to do the test again because I know I can do better. That’s what #AimHigh looks like.”
