Great pilots are made not born... A Man may possess good eye sight, Sensitive hands, and perfect Co-ordination. But the end result is only fashioned by Steady Coaching, much Practice and Experience.

<B>Professional recognition:
The flying training is given by a nationally accredited provider and, in conjunction with the New Zealand Civil Aviation Authority, provides all statutory training for qualification, as well as the preferred options required for employment, as either light charter pilots or flying instructors.
