WELCOME TO GOFLY AVIATION

GoFly Online aviation awards finalist

We offer Recreational flight training for fun or as a stepping stone towards a career as a pilot. Please go to our Licences page to learn about the difference licence types that we offer: Recreational Pilot Certificate, Cross Country and Passenger endorsements; RAAus Instructor Ratings; and Biennial Flight Reviews. We are NOT currently offering RPL/PPL or CPL training but can transfer you to a nearby GA school once you have taken the first three steps with us in our lower-hourly cost aircraft.

**IMPORTANT: Once you are sure about which licence you want, you can use our contact form to enrol or transfer from your previous school.  Our instructors are very busy flying all day and we only have part-time admin staff rostered from 9am-1pm each day. Please read all the useful information about pricing and licences on this website BEFORE you call 07 5341 8125 or email goflyaviation@gmail.com to book a 10 minute appointment for a chat or tour. Please do NOT just turn up at the flight school without an appointment.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY:

I chose GoFly Aviation to learn to fly as, in my opinion, they had a better and clearer pathway to achieving your RPC and then onwards to RPL and so on. The team at GoFly are always on hand and accommodating no matter the time of day! I could not recommend GoFly Aviation highly enough and have already referred them to friends who are also passionate about learning to fly.

Took my first step towards my dream of flying at GoFly and it was superb to say the least. As a Singaporean, learning to fly in Singapore can be a hefty investment, however, GoFly offered a range of competitive pricing without compromising the quality of the school, its instructors and more importantly its Sling planes! GoFly cultivates a learner-friendly environment and builds confidence in aspiring pilots who are chasing their dreams. I highly recommend GoFly and I look forward to return to further my RPC!

If you’re interested in learning to fly I would highly recommend GoFly. Although I was a bit apprehensive about getting my pilot’s licence at first, Damien and his team of instructors made me feel comfortable and at ease. Throughout my training they were great mentors and always willing to help me out and answer any questions I had along the way. Seven weeks ago I passed my flight test and now I am able to take full advantage of private hiring a plane and taking it up for a spin all on my own. Amazing!

The website has a huge amount of quality, valuable content that will significantly aid the development of future students skills for many years to come. The videos are extremely informative and easy to follow and take in. The layout is extremely user friendly and will be a breeze for students to keep up to date with lessons and videos throughout their training. Gofly Online is a great resource for students to access and will highly benefit their training.
Quinn

If you are considering getting a pilots licence for either recreational or going further in the industry I would highly recommend Damien, Nathan and the whole team at GoFly Aviation. Their online resources are unlike any other school and I believe are an absolute asset to helping to achieve your goals faster. Whether you are thinking of taking your time or fast tracking GoFly will accommodate you in everyway they can, I was fortunate enough to fast track mine and went from never being in a small plane in my life to a RPL in 2 months. Another huge benefit being from Caloundra airport you don't need a clearance every time you fly saving you time and money. Before making a decision on any flight school, contact GoFly and have a chat, you won't be disappointed.

The team at GoFly Aviation, Caloundra are so friendly, supportive and amazing. My husband got to experience flying yesterday with the wonderful instructor Dan. We cannot speak highly enough of Dan and the whole team. Martin absolutely loved the whole experience, and it sure made for a memorable 50th birthday weekend for him. Thank you all so very much.

'I had a flight yesterday, that I had won in a competition. It was an amazing experience that I really never thought I would ever do. I'm not quite sure that I'm ready for more flying right now, but it has certainly given me food for thought. I just wanted to say that Dan was a fantastic instructor and I really enjoyed him showing me what to do and flying and talking with him. I will certainly recommend this experience and your company in the future.

Instructors are friendly, helpful and highly skilled. It is always an experience to fly GoFly's fleet of beautiful Sling aircraft and I have done so for over three years.

I enjoyed my time flying with Gofly Aviation very much. They offered me a tailor-made course in a Sling 2, in a way that did not only improve my flying skills, but also improved my knowledge of aviation. The instructors were passionate about flying as well as teaching. They emphasized motivation for the students and that is exactly what I need for becoming a pilot!

'It has been my life long dream to learn to fly, and it was a case of 'what are you waiting for?' The experience has been amazing. I cannot wait to move on with my navigation training, with my goal being my PPL (Private Pilots Licence). I am excited about the endless opportunities that this venture will open up. Life is short. This country is big beautiful and amazing. Get out and do what you have dreamt of!! I can't thank the GoFly team enough for their welcoming, supportive and professional approach and for making this experience and training feel seamless.'
