Our Latest SFT Student Achievements

Our Sydney Flight Training students have achieved remarkable success once again, maing us all very proud. We extend our heartfelt congratulations on reaching these significant milestones and are excited to witness their continued growth as they soar towards their next aviation goals.


James - First Solo

Congratulations to James who completed his First Solo recently! Working in catering at Sydney Airport, James is always in and around aircraft and decided he would like to take to the skies himself and learn how to fly. On a crisp, clear, quiet winter morning, James and Instructor Kayla conducted four dual circuits prior to James going up for a lap on his own. No matter how a flight lesson goes, James is always smiling and radiates positive energy; his hard work, dedication and positive attitude are great attributes to have and we look forward to seeing James progress towards his RPL.


Reo - First Solo

Well done to Rebert (Reo) Basnet who also achieved his First Solo! Instructors Aaron and Tim have been training Reo in the mighty C152, a great initial training aircraft. Reo and Instructor Kayla hopped into the circuit last Friday afternoon. Although the skies were clear the wind was 8kts and conditions bumpy. Reo handled these conditions well, and after 4 dual circuits Reo dropped Kayla in the runup bay before returning to the circuit for a lap by himself. Reo has since conducted subsequent solos and we can’t wait to see his skills develop as he works towards his RPL.


Ben - First Solo

Congratulations to Ben Sultana on recently achieving his First Solo! Also a Flight Attendant for Virgin Australia, Ben loves being in and around aircraft and achieved his first big aviation milestone - the First Solo flight. Ben flew with Instructor Kayla on a beautiful day with clear skies and light winds before Ben dropped Kayla off in the run-up bay to take to the skies by himself. We look forward to following Ben through his aviation journey.

Jason had 5hrs previous experience from Adelaide, but still managed to complete his first solo in under 2 weeks - a fantastic achievement for both himself and a credit to our wonderful flight instructors Clea, Aaron, and Rebecca. We wish Jason the best of luck as he applies for the Cathay Pacific cadetship and hope to see him as a Second Officer in the next few years.
