Royal Aero Club of Western Australia is a privately operated flight school located in two different cities of the same state, Western Australia namely Perth and Mandurah.
The Club has a membership facility and it is owned by the members rather than external shareholders. Only financial members can own a share in the Royal Aero Club of WA. The club has almost 90 years of expertise in the flight industry.
The Royal Aero Club of Western Australia is WA’s oldest flying training club. It was incorporated in August 1929 as the Aero Club of Australia (W.A. Branch) Inc. and first flew its aircraft from Maylands Aerodrome in April 1930. On that date, the Club officially took over training from Perth Flying School with two de Havilland DH.60 Moth aircraft donated by the Federal Government. In 1934, the name was changed to Aero Club of Western Australia, and in 1936, the Royal prefix was added, changing the name to the Royal Aero Club of Western Australia Inc. Before World War Two, the Club held several air carnivals, where RAAF aircraft participated. The events drew thousands of visitors to Maylands.
