Commercial Pilot Licence
If a career in Aviation appeals to you, then the South Canterbury Aero Club
can help you achieve this!
We don’t just train our pilots to pass a flight test; we will train you for employability.
The South Canterbury Aero Club runs a small charter operation South Canterbury Air.
Although a small operation, South Canterbury Air provides a chance for commercial students trained through South Canterbury Aero Club, the opportunity to gain commercial experience after a successful CPL flight test and operational competency assessment.
There are many paths a Commercial Pilot can take, from Scenic Flights and Charters, to Freight and Agricultural work, or even become a Flight Instructor.
