Future Pilots Your First Step Into the Sky
Attention Teachers and Principals
Future Pilots is linked to the Australian Curriculum, connecting what students learn at school to real-world aviation.
Ever dreamed of becoming a pilot?
Here’s your chance to take the controls.
Future Pilots is a one-day, hands-on experience that gives you a real taste of what flight training is all about.
You’ll get to fly a simulator, learn how pilots plan their flights, and discover the skills it takes to soar through the skies.
And it gets even better — included in the program is your very first real flying lesson!
On a weekend or during the school holidays, you’ll sit beside a qualified instructor, take the controls, and fly a real aeroplane.
No experience needed — just bring your curiosity and a sense of adventure!
What you'll do:
- Learn how flying actually works – Get a simple, fun look at the science of flight
- Take the controls – Fly a simulator with real cockpit-style controls
- Plan your flight – See how pilots map out their journeys
- Test your skills – Explore how pilots manage weight, balance, and performance
