Cleared for takeoff: Getting your wings in Australia

You can be soaring silently with no engine at all for around five thousand dollars, or working two years toward an airline captain's seat for two hundred thousand. First in a new series comparing pilot licensing around the world, this episode covers the full Australian picture: gliding, gyrocopters, and the powered aeroplane ladder from RAAus through to a commercial licence. Hours, real costs, medical requirements, and how each pathway connects to the next.

Look! Squirrel! Your attention span is selective, not short.
