Location Of The School
Pearson Aviation is located at Essendon Airport within Melbourne’s Primary airspace, which affords the student exposure to a professional working environment from lesson one but still affords ease of entry and exit to facilitate quick transit to non controlled training fields.
Essendon Airport
- Ideal for training professional pilots.
- Located within the same Melbourne Primary Control Zone used by Boeing 747 international flights – so flight training is conducted in the radar environment of the professionals.
- Essendon has long sealed runways, a control tower, on-site maintenance workshops, approach and runway lighting and sophisticated navigation aids.
- Access to a nearby general Aviation Aerodrome which uses GAAP procedures, dual runways and contra-rotating circuits, as well as access to a large country training area and country aerodromes.
- Accommodation is easy to arrange, the city centre is 16km away and connected by electric tram.
Melbourne
- A modern multi-cultural city of over 4 million people with communities and countries all over the world.
- World-renowned for its restaurants, arts, entertainment, shopping, public transport, sport, parks and gardens and sightseeing.
- It is politically stable and has been said to be the world’s most liveable city.
