Welcome to AoA!

Ever wanted to be a pilot? Angle of Attack contains the latest information on pilot training and cadetships in Australia.

Cadetships: How much does it cost?

Learning to fly can be extremely expensive. In fact, an Australian Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) can cost anywhere up AUD $80,000, and that's without the guarantee of a job!

This is where cadetships can greatly aid wanna-be pilots. Cadets undertake flight training with dedicated training partners as specified by the employer. Subject to completion of the program, cadets may then be employed by the airline for a bonded period of time and may be required to make course repayments via salary sacrifing.

So just how much will a cadetship cost you? AoA staked out some of Austalia's best cadetships to get the low-down on prices.
