OVERVIEW
Australian National Airline College (ANAC) at a glance.
Australian National Airline College has trained airline pilots at Moorabbin Airport in Melbourne since 1990, making it one of Australia's longer-established dedicated airline training schools. It operates under the CASA Part 142 integrated syllabus, which delivers a Commercial Pilot Licence with Multi-Engine Instrument Rating in minimum hours, and its graduates fly for carriers worldwide.
The college is CASA approved and CRICOS registered for international students. Students progress through Piper Warriors for primary flying, Piper Arrows for complex single-engine work, and Piper Seminoles for the multi-engine instrument rating, with an Elite ST2000 synthetic trainer supporting IFR procedures. The modular CPL and MEIR pathway is packaged as a nationally recognised Diploma of Aviation.
Moorabbin is one of Australia's busiest general aviation airports, so students work in controlled airspace from early in their training, about 30 minutes from Melbourne's city centre.
