Understanding Our Standards at Lanseria Flight Centre
At Lanseria Flight Centre, we’re often asked important — and sometimes difficult — questions by prospective students.
We welcome them.
But we also believe clarity builds trust.
Below are some of the most common questions we receive, answered honestly and professionally.
“We are two students planning to join — can we expect a discounted rate?”
At Lanseria Flight Centre, every student receives the same level of training, attention, and access — regardless of background, nationality, or group size.
Our fees are structured to reflect:
- Fully insured aircraft
- A professionally maintained fleet
- Highly experienced instructors
- A structured training environment that meets international airline expectations
We don’t adjust our standards to match reduced budgets.
We maintain them so that every graduate leaves with the same credibility, confidence, and competence.
Consistency is what protects our students — and their future careers.
“I started training elsewhere, but poor weather and inconsistent training have delayed my progress. Can I transfer to LFC?”
Yes — and many students do.
It’s common for students to realise part-way through their training that location, airspace congestion, or inconsistent instruction is slowing their momentum.
South Africa’s coastal weather and busy international airspace can significantly impact continuity and aircraft availability.
However, it’s important to understand:
Transferring flight schools is not instant.
When a student transfers to Lanseria Flight Centre, regulatory processes — including documentation verification, licence transfers, and visa amendments — can add up to three months before flying resumes.
We guide students through this process professionally, but we never rush or bypass compliance.
Safety, legality, and quality come first — always.
“I’ve completed my CPL elsewhere and would like to do my Instructor Rating at LFC.”
Instructor training at Lanseria Flight Centre is selective by design.
We primarily train instructors from within our own system — pilots whose skill level, discipline, and decision-making we know intimately. This ensures consistency, safety, and teaching quality across our operation.
Instructor training is not just another rating; it’s a leadership role.
We invest heavily in instructors because they represent our standards in the cockpit every day.
That said, experienced external candidates may be considered on a case-by-case basis, subject to assessment and alignment with our training philosophy.
Why We Operate This Way
Lanseria Flight Centre is built on one principle:
Standards first. Careers follow.
We are not structured for shortcuts, volume-driven training, or rapid turnover.
We are structured for pilots who want longevity, credibility, and global career readiness.
Our graduates fly for airlines around the world because they were trained in an environment where:
- Standards never fluctuate
- Safety is non-negotiable
- Professionalism is expected from day one
