The Royal Federation of Aero Clubs of Australia (RFACA) has revealed it will hold its annual training conference in the Gold Coast on 20–21 July.

This year’s speakers will include senior managers from CASA, an ATSB accident investigator and a representative from the Bureau of Meteorology.

The registration fee of $150 includes lunch and afternoon tea on both days, while dinner tickets are available from $65 per person. It will be held in the Twin Towns Conference and Function Centre in Coolangatta.

RFACA is the national body of aero clubs, flight schools and other aviation organisations and associations. Its 2021 conference will in particular focus on business issues that impact on community.

“The Federation was founded on the principle that individual clubs and flight schools all  across Australia, should work together, sharing their successes and frustrations to create great aviation outcomes for every Australian,” said RFACA in a statement.
