Peninsula Aeroclub is located at Tyabb Aerodrome on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, on the edge of Westernport Bay.

The club provides flight training for all licence levels from private to commercial available for local and overseas students in Cessna 152, 172 and PA28 aircraft. It also offers training for RAAus Pilot Certificates in a club-owned Gazelle aircraft and a privately owned Tecnam.

Peninsula Aeroclub's safety management system operates on the 'KISS' principle: 'Keep It Simple Stupid'!They have an action request book that is easily accessible to all at the flight operations desk. Flight operations staff are trained on taking phone calls or meeting people in person and then they fill in the book with relevant details about the safety issue or the noise complaint or any other incident that might require action to be taken by the club.
