7 Quick points to set the record straight.

In aviation, facts matter — so let’s clarify a few.

Lanseria Flight Centre (LFC), based at Grand Central Airport, Midrand, has built a reputation for developing disciplined, capable, airline-ready pilots. Here are seven key points to set the record straight:

  1. Instructor to Student Ratio — 1:10

Every student receives individual attention from experienced instructors who know their training progress personally. No “mass production” — just structured, professional mentorship.

  1. Aircraft to Student Ratio — 1:10

Our fleet capacity is aligned with active student numbers. This means consistent aircraft availability and zero waiting around for flying slots.

  1. CPL in 12 Months — for Full-Time, Focused Students

Dedicated students who manage their study and flight schedules efficiently complete their Commercial Pilot Licence within a year — a realistic, achievable timeframe.

  1. Real Hour-Building. Real Experience.

LFC is South Africa’s only school that offers true Hire & Fly — solo hour-building across the country without a “safety pilot.” Our students explore 200+ runways, gaining genuine cross-country experience and independence.

  1. The Ideal Aerodrome for Training

Operating from Grand Central Airport, LFC students benefit from controlled airspace, minimal congestion, and a professional yet efficient environment — perfect for building real-world flying skills.

  1. Higher-Calibre Graduates

An LFC graduate doesn’t just hold a licence — they hold the confidence, experience, and professionalism recognised by airlines worldwide.

  1. Setting the Record Straight

We’re aware that certain agents misrepresent facts to steer students toward schools that pay them commissions. The truth is simpler: LFC attracts students who value integrity, quality, and real progress — not shortcuts.
