About Us

Gold Coast Sports Flying Training (GCSFT) – ( Gold Coast Sports Flying Trust trading as Gold Coast Sports Flying Training).

Gold Coast Sports Flying Training is an accredited Flight Training School (FTS) with Recreational Aviation Australia (RA-Aus) and we provide flying training in recreational aircraft. Our operations, training and aircraft are governed by RA-Aus.
RA-Aus administers ultralight, recreational, weight shift microlight and LSA aircraft. RA- Aus train and certify pilots, flying instructors and maintainers, register their aircraft fleet and oversee a large number of flight training schools across Australia. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority of Australia (CASA) sets the regulations and then works with self- administering organisations (such as RA-Aus) to ensure the regulations are applied and enforced.

By joining RA-Aus, your membership includes the issue of the Student Pilot Certificate and a host of other benefits which your instructor can describe. You can also find out more at www.raa.asn.au

In addition, you will also join the Gold Coast Sports Flying Club as a student member. This allows you to use the facilities of the Club during your learning-to-fly phases. Once you have gained your RPC, then you can convert your student membership into a full membership. You will be able to privately hire aircraft to fly or, who knows, maybe someday you’ll invest in your own personal aircraft!
