Your First Big Aviation Milestone
This course isn’t about rushing — it’s about building solid, hands-on skills and confidence. You’ll learn to fly in a real aircraft with a real instructor, progressing steadily toward the point when you’re ready to go solo. With a personalised training plan tailored to your pace, you’ll never feel left behind — just lifted up.
What You’ll Learn Along the Way
You’ll learn in this program:
- Basic flight controls and manoeuvres
- Aircraft systems and pre-flight inspections
- Radio communication and airspace awareness
- Circuit training, takeoffs, and landings
- Emergency procedures and solo readiness checks
Your First Solo — A Flight You’ll Never Forget
Once you’re ready, you’ll take to the skies alone for the very first time. A short circuit flight — without your instructor onboard — but with all your training right there in your hands. It’s not just a requirement. It’s a memory that defines your journey.
