HAPPY STUDENTS
As a student aiming to get my RPC, I have found the Sunshine Coast Aero Club to foster a very supportive and genuine culture that thrives on passionate and knowledgeable people. I have found the instructors and staff truly committed, approachable people who are dedicated to helping me reach my goals. They are right there with you to guide you every step of the way. The Aero Club is for everyone. They value people, passion and building connections. The unique experiences and opportunities I have had with the club have been life changing. They will stay with me forever. It's more than a club, it's a family.

Since making the decision to commence my pilot training later in life, I have really enjoyed the guidance provided to me by the Aero Club. Knowledgeable, patient instructors, along with easy to fly aircraft have made my experience all the more enjoyable. Its not easy starting something new later in life, but the Aero Club has made it as simple as they can.

Joining Sunshine Coast Aero Club to continue my pilot training with the goal of achieving my Navigation Endorsement was an excellent choice. From the very beginning, Teresa at reception made me feel welcome—her friendly smile and helpful attitude ensured my membership process was seamless, and nothing has ever been too much trouble.
My training with Chief Flying Instructor Michael Xeni has been outstanding; his guidance and support helped build my confidence and skill at every stage. I am grateful to have completed my Navigation Endorsement and look forward to further training.
One of the absolute bonuses of being part of Sunshine Coast Aero Club is the Friday Club Night, where we share stories about our individual aviation journeys—it's a great way to connect and learn from fellow aviators. I highly recommend Sunshine Coast Aero Club to anyone serious about their aviation journey.
