[1] The Royal Australian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers trains aeronautical engineers, structural fitters, technicians, life support staff and avionics technicians, while the Royal Australian Corps of Transport trains and provides air dispatchers and drivers.

As with many other Army units, a wide range of qualified personnel fill roles within the regiments.

[2] AAAvn primarily accomplishes this through mission-specific organisations such as task forces and battle groups where support is provided to the Army's combat brigades.

The earliest known Australian military aviation flights were made by a Royal Engineer Balloon Section at the Sydney Agricultural Ground on 7–8 January 1901.

[6] By the end of the war, operations were regular on the Western Front, with pilots providing direct support to the ground battle.

1 Squadron (AFC) and British bombers discovered the main Turkish advance and inflicted heavy losses.

On 13 September 1965, the Flight deployed with the 1st Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (1 RAR) into Vung Tau.

The Flight moved to the newly established Luscombe Army Airfield at Nui Dat on 22 Mar 1967.

This decision was primarily made due to the ADF preferring the Black Hawk, but indicating both airframes could accomplish the missions required.

There are, however, significant difficulties with the MRH 90 Taipan in the Special Operations role, which is the remit of 6th Aviation Regiment.

This includes an inability to provide covering fire to deployed troops while roping or rappelling from the airframe.

[23] 22 Tigers will be delivered to the Army under the AIR 87 Project, built at the Australian Aerospace Brisbane facility.

[24] The Tiger ARH achieved Final Operational Capability on 14 April 2016 originally planned for June 2009 and is in service with the 1st Aviation Regiment.

C Squadron was raised on the Army order of battle in June 1995, on the return of the Chinooks to Australia after re-manufacture by Boeing USA.

[28] The EC135 T2+ is operated by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) and Boeing Defence Australia at 723 Squadron, HMAS Albatross.

Army Aviation operated fixed-wing aircraft for a period of almost 50 years, from taking delivery of Cessna 180s in 1961 until 20 November 2009.

Other aircraft types operated were the Pilatus Porter, the GAF Nomad and the de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter.

Aircrew within Australian Army Aviation consist of officers and soldiers filling the roles of pilots and load-masters respectively.

For pilots, screening begins either prior to entry to the Australian Defence Force Academy, or during initial training at the Royal Military College – Duntroon (RMC-D).

After successful completion, pilots are transitioned to rotary wing training at 723 Squadron, HMAS Albatross on the EC135.

Basic GCAS training consists of three individual courses covering driving, refuelling and forward arming.

[34] GCAS soldiers are primarily employed to conduct forward arming and refuelling of aircraft, in tactical or non-tactical environments.

[citation needed] Training for groundcrewman mission support also consists of three courses covering driving, communications and command post operations.
