Algoa Flying Club
Flights in Port Elizabeth

The Algoa Flight Centre Training professional pilots for more than 50 years.

The Algoa Flying Club is an aviation training academy, and considered to be one of the leading flying schools, in South Africa. This state of the art, Elite Evolution simulator is built to meet the rigorous JAR FSTD A standards. With 50 years of experience the Algoa Flying Club is proud of the high standards consistently achieved by our students and we aim to maintain the standards that are the recognised hallmark of many of South Africa’s top schools. Course schedules can be tailor made to suit your needs and the full time course to a Commercial Pilot level takes approximately 12 months. The first intake of students preparing for a full time commercial pilot course is generally during January but full flexibility is possible for students who wish to start later in the year and provision is made every quarter for a new intake. Individually tailored courses are also prepared for those students who already have a Private Licence or may have already completed a portion of the requirements. This aircraft is available for conversions as well as advanced training. At Algoa Flying Club, we pride ourselves in being professional, safe pilots. More than this, our Flight School takes great pride in producing pilots of the same standard. At the Solo Party, the student pilot’s tie will be cut, and the that portion will mounted to the club wall alongside all those that have gone before. The Algoa Flying Club is located at Port Elizabeth’s conveniently situated airport that is minutes away from the beachfront and city centre. The city is renowned for its fantastic beaches, calm surf and pleasant all year round climate. The airport is of international standard with two tar runways and full instrument landing facilities coupled with sophisticated radar control. This provides an ideal training environment giving our students the experience of real world air traffic control. The variable winds prevalent in a coastal setting are just another added benefit as our students have a fully rounded experience in a range of flight conditions.
