JOHANNESBURG FLYING ACADEMY
Established in 1984, Johannesburg flying academy is a SACAA and ICAO (international civil aviation organisation) approved flight training facility, situated South of Johannesburg South Africa. Due to our unique location at Panorama airfield, no time is wasted flying to and from the general flying area or on the ground waiting for flight clearances.
Your training at Johannesburg Flying Academy starts as soon as you are airborne. The school is open 7 days a week from Sunrise to Sunset.
