Pearce (ICAO: YPEA) is the main RAAF base in Western Australia. Pearce Airbase is located in Bullsbrook, north of Perth. It is used for training by the Royal Australian Air Force and the Republic of Singapore Air Force. Pearce is the busiest RAAF base in Australia in terms of total aircraft moves, including civil moves at the Joint User bases. Although its primary role is pilot training, it remains the only permanent Air Force base on the Australian west coast, and therefore it has a significant logistics role.
