Whether you're looking to pursue flying as a hobby or as the first step toward a career in aviation, this flight school provides the perfect launching pad for your ambitions.
Under the guidance of Chief Flying Instructor Ron Logan, students receive training from an experienced aviation professional with a rich background in both flying and leadership. Ron's extensive experience ensures that you'll learn from someone who truly understands both the technical aspects of flying and the importance of building confidence in new pilots.
Lite Air Flying Training specializes in helping students achieve their Recreational Pilot Certificate (RPC), the ideal starting point for anyone looking to enter the world of aviation. Their structured approach to flight training ensures you'll develop all the necessary skills to fly safely and confidently.
Once you've earned your RPC, the school offers various endorsements to expand your flying privileges, including:

Aldinga Airfield provides an ideal setting for learning to fly. With less congested airspace than metropolitan airports, students can focus on mastering the fundamentals without the pressure of heavy air traffic. The scenic surroundings also make each training flight a visually rewarding experience, with breathtaking views of the Fleurieu Peninsula, Gulf St Vincent, and nearby wine regions.
One of the standout features of training at Lite Air is being part of the vibrant Aldinga aviation community. Students often mention how this supportive environment enhances their learning experience, with opportunities to connect with fellow aviation enthusiasts and experienced pilots.
Many people believe that learning to fly is prohibitively expensive or reserved for those with special abilities. Lite Air Flying Training challenges these misconceptions by offering structured, affordable training packages designed to make recreational flying accessible to ordinary Australians.
Safety is paramount at Lite Air Flying Training. As an RAAus-approved school, they adhere to strict safety standards while creating a learning environment that builds confidence and competence. Their methodical approach to training ensures students develop sound decision-making skills and respect for aviation safety protocols.
While specific pricing information is best obtained directly from the school, recreational flight training is generally more affordable than many people expect. The investment required to earn your Recreational Pilot Certificate is comparable to other recreational activities like scuba diving certification or advanced golf lessons.
Not sure if flying is for you? A discovery flight (sometimes called a trial flight) is the perfect way to find out. For approximately the cost of a nice dinner, you can experience the thrill of taking the controls of an aircraft under the supervision of a qualified instructor.
During this hour-long experience, you'll:
1) Receive a pre-flight briefing about basic aircraft controls
2) Participate in the pre-flight inspection
3) After take off, you will fly the aircraft yourself (with instructor guidance)
4) Experience the unique perspective of seeing some one of the best scenic areas of South Australia from above
After just one hour in the cockpit, you'll know whether flying is something you want to pursue further. Even if you decide not to continue with training, you'll forever be able to say you've piloted an aircraft – an achievement few people can claim!
