New Pilot Program

Description

Are you a recently qualified pilot looking to increase your flying experience with the assistance of an instructor? This program has been developed specifically for you. We’re here to help take the stress out of site selection, weather forecasting, and get you flying as much as possible to build your confidence. On the way, you’ll make new friends, gain exposure to the Cape Town clubs, improve your ground handling, and upskill yourself in a fun low-pressure environment.

The program focuses on the following core skills and product offerings
