Congratulations Callum!

And congratulations to Callum’s instructor Britta for her first student to pass PPL!

Molly Whittaker successfully completed her C-Category Flight Instructor Rating today, well done from the entire team at AFT!

On Friday Duncan achieved his first solo, congratulations! Looking forward to seeing your progress towards PPL.

Hello everyone. Due to some unlucky weather like last time, the Cirrus will not be coming tomorrow to AFT (Rangiora). We are hoping for some good weather potentially at the end of August and the Cirrus may be able to come then 🤞

The last two days have been big ones here at AFT.

Yesterday, Chris Johnson successfully completed the flight test to add additional privileges of C & B Category Instructor Renewals and Terrain Awareness & Mountain Flying Removal to his GA Flight Examiner Rating.

Today, Andrew Vialoux successfully completed the flight test to add the additional privilege of C & B Category Instructor Renewals to his GA Flight Examiner Rating.

Thanks to Carlton Campbell from the Civil Aviation Authority of NZ for his time over the past two days, invaluable advice was passed on during the tests.

Hey guys! Hopefully second time lucky, Advanced Flight Training is hosting “Discover Cirrus” again next month on Monday the 11th of August from 12pm- 2pm. Praying for the weather to play ball. There will also be a BBQ at the same time so be there or be square, see you all there!

Check out our talented instructors! With a variety of backgrounds and experiences we strive to make sure student/instructor matchups are mutually beneficial.

Hello everyone!

The day to 'Discover Cirrus' is approaching, it'll be great if you could all scan to register your attendance! What ever Mother Nature brings us, if it's raining or sunny, the day will go ahead. There will also be a BBQ on the day provided by Cirrus. See you all there!

We have exciting news to share! Britta has just recently completed her C-Category Instructor Rating with us 🎉

Huge congratulations to Britta on such a personal achievement. Britta will be joining the team at Advanced Flight Training and brings a varied background in General Aviation experience to the role.

Not a bad way to celebrate International Women's Day!
