Eagle Air is a SACAA-accredited training organisation at Wonderboom National Airport. Training runs on instructors, ground instruction, operations, quality and safety, and the people who keep a student's week moving.
Opportunities are listed here only when the school is advertising them.
A training day is a chain of people. Every link is somebody's job.
Safety and preparation
A dedicated Quality and Safety Manager and an experienced Chief Flight Instructor hold the standard the school trains to.
Responsibility
Owners, management, instructors and students share the responsibility for how training is run.
Professional standards
A SACAA-accredited training organisation, ATO 1082, with the record-keeping and oversight that requires.
An operational airport
Wonderboom is a working airport with other traffic and a control tower — not a quiet training field.
Student development
Instruction is judged on whether a student progresses, and progress is reviewed as it happens.
Team coordination
Briefing rooms, examination stations, the simulator and the fleet are all on one site, which only works if the day is coordinated.

From CPL to instructor
Instructor Sponsorship
Eagle Air's Flight Instructor Sponsorship Programme selects, trains and mentors candidates to become flight instructors — addressing a worldwide shortage of instructors that affects safety, training standards and the future of pilot development.
Guaranteed job placement as a flight instructor
Placement as an Eagle Air instructor follows successful completion of the course, on the terms set out in the formal sponsorship agreement.
In return: approximately 2–3 years as an eagle air flight instructor.
The people behind flight are the reason it is safe.
If instructing is where you are heading, the sponsorship programme is open year-round. If you want to understand the school first, start with how it trains.
