25.01.2022 The AFAP's 61st Annual Convention has drawn to a close. President Captain Louise Pole thanks the delegates attending in person at the new AFAP Brisbane office and those participating by video. While the #Covid19 pandemic has provided challenges, we were able to come together for a very successful day! #aviation #pilots #solidarity

24.01.2022 On International Day of the Air Traffic Controller, pilots thank our friends at Civil Air Australia and all our Air Traffic Controller colleagues - truly essential professionals - for keeping us safe. #ATCDay #solidarity #AirTrafficControl #AirservicesAustralia #airtrafficcontroller #idatc #ifatca #100facesofatc

24.01.2022 AFAP member Olivia Magoffin went from flying sightseers to delivering Covid tests and aid supplies, such as tents and tarps. It’s all about mateship and helping your neighbours, she says. I have to stay - I have to do this job. #DFAT #ForeignAid #Vanuatu

22.01.2022 Student member Adrian Stevens dreams of one day walking through airport terminals as a qualified commercial pilot. Despite the general downturn in the aviation industry, regional flying schools are reporting a spike in new enrolments which is keeping flight instructors busy.

06.01.2022 With the airline industry at a standstill and farmers desperate for workers, pilots Andrew King (Hainan Air) and Matt Sheppard (Tigerair) are putting their skills to good use in the agriculture sector through Pilots4Harvest2020 - Our training is around some core systems, hydraulics, pneumatics, pressurisation, electrics and operating computer software. All these things are pretty transferable to a combine harvester, especially the more modern ones.

05.01.2022 AFAP is lobbying for governments to commit to an Australian-registered fleet of aircraft "crewed by Australian-licensed pilots". AFAP president Captain Louise Pole has called for the federal government to establish an aerial firefighting flight wing with aircraft registered in Australia and staffed by local pilots. The AFAP wants the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) to register international planes locally when they are leased to work in Australia so that Australian-licensed pilots can be trained (as aerial firefighters) and fly them. #bushfires #RoyalCommission #pilots #aerialfirefighting #civilaviationsafetyauthority #aviation #aviationjobs https://www.abc.net.au//grounded-commercial-pilot/12775232
