GENERAL FLYING PROGRESS TEST
The General Flying Progress Test (GFPT) will be the first endorsement on your Student Pilot Licence. Until this stage you are not authorized to carry any passengers on your flights. Once you have passed the GFPT you may carry passengers to and from the training area during solo lights. You will still be limited to a confined training area and your instructor must authorize all flights.
Before you undertake the test you are required to pass the Basic Aeronautical Knowledge theory examination. You will also need to have at least 20 hours flight time, which includes 5 hours as pilot in command and 2 hours instrument time. On average students are usually ready to attempt the GFPT at the 30-hour point.
The test will be conducted by an Approved Testing Officer of the CASA, to whom you must demonstrate your ability to competently manage the aircraft in all the basic phases of flight.
