What is Basair Aviation College?

Basair Aviation College is an Australian flight training organisation that prepares students for professional pilot careers. It offers full-time Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL), instrument rating, and instructor courses, with training bases at Bankstown Airport in Sydney and Archerfield Airport in Brisbane. It suits people who want to train toward a commercial flying career rather than a one-off recreational flight.

What Basair offers

The college describes itself as a provider of professional pilot training, with a focus on full-time study pathways. Its stated course areas are:

• Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) — the core qualification for flying professionally.
• Instrument rating — training to operate under instrument flight rules.
• Instructor courses — for pilots who want to teach others to fly.

Training is delivered at two locations, so prospective students in either Sydney or Brisbane have a local base:

Fleet and training aircraft

Basair publishes an aircraft list on its site. One aircraft it highlights is the Piper Seminole, used by students completing the Multi-Engine and Multi-Engine Instrument Rating units of study. The college describes it as a strong platform for learning the complexities of multi-engine flight.

That detail matters if your goal includes multi-engine work: it indicates the college trains beyond single-engine aircraft and into the multi-engine instrument environment that commercial operators often require.

Who it is for

Basair is aimed at people pursuing a professional pilot career, not casual or trial flying. The typical fit is someone who:

• Wants to train full-time toward a CPL.
• Needs instrument and/or multi-engine training as part of a career pathway.
• Prefers to study in Sydney or Brisbane.

What to check before deciding

The site confirms the college's identity, course directions, and locations, but it does not publish pricing on the pages reviewed. Before committing, confirm directly with the college:

• Current course costs and payment options — not stated in the available material.
• Entry requirements and medical certification — needed before commercial training.
• Course duration and start dates for the full-time CPL, instrument, and instructor pathways.
• Which base hosts which units, since multi-engine and instrument training may not run at both airports.

If your aim is a professional flying career and you want full-time training in Sydney or Brisbane, Basair is a relevant option to investigate — start by contacting the college about the specific course and base you need.
