So you want to learn to fly a helicopter? At Australian Helicopter Pilot School, we believe the quality of the flight training we provide our students is a direct result of our highly-experienced instructors, extensive fleet and the safe, relaxed environment at each of our training schools. Our pilot training began in 1976, with the opening of Heliflite Training School. We launched Bankstown Helicopters in 1982 and Central West Helicopters in 2008, before welcoming Queensland’s Redcliffe Helicopter School to the network in 2011. In 2012, we created an umbrella organisation to manage our growing network of flight training schools. Australian Helicopter Pilot School is now one of Australia’s leading pilot training facilities, with twelve Grade 1 Instructors who hold more than 50,000 hours of flight time in total. Our helicopters are always maintained to an exemplary condition and we have our own on-site refueling facility to reduce delays between lessons. With more than 40 years experience, we understand exactly how to get the best out of every student that learns to fly with us.

Air Combat Australia is a Sydney-based flying organisation established in 1992. The company is based at the beautiful Camden Airport, approximately 45 minutes from the Sydney CBD, where the skies are relatively uncongested allowing more flexibility in flight times for our clients. After beginning jet fighter operations on military contracts, Air Combat Australia pioneered the jet fighter “TOP GUN” experience for a day concept in the Southern Hemisphere in 1996 with two MiG-15 Fighters. Since then we have taken tens of thousands of thrill seekers on their choice of air combat experiences in the previous 25 years, currently flying the L-39 Albatros. Air Combat Australia has also previously held military fast jet training contracts for overseas governments. Our standard of flying is the envy of all pilots who aspire to achieve the very highest of standards in flying skills and proficiency. It goes without saying that not all are capable of making the grade! ACA also operates in conjunction with Atlas Aviation Australia Pty Ltd, our civilian flight training school operating from the same facility, conducting flight training from RPL through to frozen ATPL.

SFC began in 1969 when a small group of local aviation enthusiasts gathered to discuss the idea of starting a flying club. Their dream was to create a community that would promote and support aviation, providing a space for like-minded people to come together and share their passion for flying. Over the years, our club has grown in size and reputation, becoming the largest aviation club on the eastern seaboard. Today, SFC is a well-respected flight training organisation that is shaping the next generation of pilots in Sydney and regional NSW, while still remaining true to its roots as a club at its core.

Australian International Aviation College (AIAC) is a leading provider of flight training for both domestic and international students. Our success comes from designing courses that have our students, and their futures, firmly in mind. As a globally engaged organisation, we are committed to ensuring our flight instructors provide a positive learning experience and supportive environment for students from diverse cultural backgrounds. Based in picturesque Port Macquarie, on the mid-north coast of New South Wales, with access to an uninterrupted airspace and a modern training fleet, there's no better place to learn to fly.

With over thirty years of flying tradition and experience behind us, we know what it takes to make the best airline pilots. AAPA is managed by its parent company Regional Express (Rex) which is the largest independent regional and domestic airline in Australia, recognised by experts all over the globe as the world’s best regional airline. AAPA only trains pilots to commercial airlines standards and has a much more stringent and rigorous pedagogy compared to what is prevalent amongst pilot schools catering to General Aviation. AAPA has been approved by civil aviation regulatory bodies in China, Singapore, Australia, Vietnam and the United Arab Emirates to deliver ab-initio Integrated Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) and Air Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) and Multi Crew Cooperation (MCC). AAPA has trained pilots for Air China, Hainan Airlines, Xiamen Airlines, Okay Airways, Scoot, Qatar Airways, China Airlines, Juneyao Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines, Tigerair, Rex, Vietnam Airlines and Air Arabia. Besides training cadets for airlines, AAPA also accepts private candidates aspiring to be airline pilots. AAPA has two large campuses at Wagga Wagga, NSW and Ballarat, VIC, and has a total combined capacity of over 400 cadets a year for its residential CPL programme.
