About Cape Town Flight Training Centre
You may be paying your own way. You may be sponsored by parents. You may be lucky enough to be commercially sponsored. Although there is no minimum educational requirement to get started, you will already have a high standard of self-discipline, a strong sense of responsibility and be dedicated to your goals. Contact us if you want the very best in flying training
CTFTC is committed to providing the highest standard of flight training available for those wishing to work towards their private or commercial Licence.
We also offer a comprehensive range of services to qualified aviators who are interested in advancing their ability, or simply keeping their Licences current.
At CTFTC you will be personally guided through each stage of your training programme – from the first, introductory flight – all the way through to the day you receive your qualification.
Your training course will be customized according to your own time and financial constraints. Through the example set by our highly professional instructors, we wish to inspire each and every student to continually strive to improve his/her competency, either as a recreational or professional pilot.
We hope this website provides you with all you need know about us. However, we would love for you to come and visit us at Fisantekraal, discuss your objectives in person,and perhaps take an Introductory Flight to experience what flying is all about.
We look forward to meeting you!
