Powered Flight started in February 2006 with one R22 Helicopter. In February this year Powered Flight celebrated 5 years as an Aviation Training Organisation. We started our Helicopter Pilot Training centre with only one Robinson R22 and one instructor. Through the support of all our clients, we now have three RH22, two RH44 helicopters and a helicopter simulator.
We decided on Wonderboom Airport as our base for several reasons:
- It has 1500ft less elevation than Grand Central and Rand, which is significant when training in a Robinson R22.
- The Training area is on the boundry of the airfield’s airspace.
- North of the airfield is uncontrolled airspace making radio work less intimidating for students pilots.
- South of the airfield requires extensive radio work for more advanced students
- The airfield is large enough for several students at one time to undergo hover training while being in sight of the air traffic control tower.
- A ground radio frequency has been introduced which has reduced congestion.
As a result of the opening of our own AOC (Charter company), we are now in a position to offer a variety of opportunities to students who complete their commercial pilot licence with us, in order to enhance their careers. All our training is conducted on our own aircraft and helicopter simulator.
We offer the following:
- Ab Initio and Advanced helicopter training
- Ratings: Night, IF, Instructor, Sling, Game & Cull
- PPL & CPL Ground school
- Charter Flights
- Game Capture

LIVE THE DREAM!
