An aviator — not just a pilot

Since opening our doors in 1995 we’ve focused not just on teaching people to fly, but on giving them that extra something which makes them stand out from the rest.

It’s what gets you noticed, gives you the ability to call on superior knowledge and skill when the chips are down, and makes you a professional — not just a worker.

“Making you the best you can be.”

“Congratulations on creating a “world class” flight training school. I did my multi-engine IR through the school on their newly approved IR training course — an absolute pleasure, with ground school and exams written at the school. Thanks to you all at GAS for providing us Zim pilots with a truly professional facility and service.”

“Thanks very much to the Guthrie Aviation team for the professional PPL training received. Having such passionate and knowledgeable instructors who scheduled me in whenever I needed was brilliant and much appreciated. Keep up the good work!”

“Instructors were excellent, Zoom calls went very well, and the training material is comprehensive and most informative. As someone who has spent 20+ years in tech, I was most impressed with the adoption of technology in the training process — despite having zero flying experience.”
