About Us

Virginia Flight School was founded in 1989 by Clyde Walker. It had humble beginnings and has steadily grown in stature and reputation. Today, the school is owned and operated by Bruce Scott. Bruce, with his wife Sheralee, took control of the school in 1996. They have and continue to work very hard to ensure that we maintain a high standard of service delivery to our students and customers.

Today the school looks very different. We have larger premises to accommodate our ever increasing growth within the aviation training industry. Currently, Virginia Flight School is the largest fixed-wing flight training school in Kwazulu-Natal.

We have a family orientated environment and deal with each individual on a One-on-One basis thereby providing a professional yet personal service to our students and customers. When you join Virginia Flight School, you join a family of people who love flying, who love talking about flying and who help each other to achieve their ultimate goal, be it the PPL, CPL or ATPL.

We pride ourselves on the high standard of instruction provided by our very dedicated team of instructors under the watchful eye of the Chief Flight Instructor. These instructors are the heart of the flight school and without them the school would not be where it is today.

We believe that we have some of the best instructors in the country who are passionate about their work and deliver a high quality of instruction to each and every student.

Our Safety record is one of the highest in the country and with our unique Safety Management System we closely monitor our safety standards. Each month we have a Safety Meeting to cover important topics and aspects of Aviation Safety. Our Safety Officer has many years experience in the SAAF, which he has brought with him to our flight school. We are indeed very proud to have such a person watching our overall safety procedures.

Your relationship with us does not end after you have obtained your licence. We encourage our PPL “graduates” to continue their flying experience with us by obtaining further ratings and advanced licences.

Flight Training is our passion. We will do what ever it takes to help you achieve your goals.

Broaden you horizons with us.
