First light

You don't need to arrive as a pilot. You need a place to begin.

From the first time you take the controls to the day you earn your licence, you'll be supported, challenged and trained to think like a professional pilot.

Life at Eagle Air

PrepareFlyBecome

  1. An instructor leading a briefing for students in the Eagle Air classroom

    Prepare: Every flight starts on the ground

    Briefings, weather and a plan — before anyone walks to an aircraft.

  2. A student pilot in a headset flying the aircraft, hands on the controls

    Fly: Your hands on the controls

    Lesson by lesson, with an instructor beside you until you're ready to fly alone.

  3. A young pilot crouched beside an aircraft on the apron, looking across the airfield

    Become: Confidence you can see

    The checklists become habits. The habits become a pilot.

The Eagle Air standard

Flying is the reward. Discipline is how you get there.

We train pilots who are confident in the cockpit, disciplined in their preparation and respected for the standard they carry into aviation.
