Support at SFC.
At SFC, we are dedicated to supporting you every step of the way. From the moment you consider joining us, through your training journey to when you earn your wings and beyond, we are here to ensure your success.
Chasing any dream means breaking down barriers, and our connections programs have been designed to just that. Providing clarity and understanding for students from Year 7 and up, it’s one way we’re opening up the skies for those who dream of becoming a pilot.
SFC hits the road to visit schools across Australia to forge meaningful conversations dispel common misconceptions about aviation.
Spend the day with our flight instructors at Bankstown Aerodrome as they show students what it's like to be a pilot for a day.
Personalised one-on-one discussion at our clubhouse with students ready to take the next step.
From that first ‘hello’ to your first day of flight school, our admissions team will be with you all the way. As your one point of contact throughout the application process, you’ll be guided and supported by your own course advisor. One friendly face for one excited future pilot!
Consistency in training is key to success, and that’s exactly what you’ll get with SFC. As a student pilot, you’ll be allocated a primary team of instructors, cheering you on through thick and thin. Under the guidance of a team leader, your instructors will ensure consistent support throughout your course, all the way to those gold wings!
To be the best, you need the best, just like our ambassador – none other than Red Bull Air Race Champion and former Royal Australian Air Force fighter pilot Matt Hall! With one of the world’s most celebrated pilots at your side, you can be sure you’re flying with the best as you set your aim high to the skies above.
Is there such a thing as too much support? The answer is no. That’s why we’re thrilled to have the backing of the most influential and inspiring groups in Australian aviation. We’ve partnered with the Australian Women Pilots’ Association, Women in Aviation, the Royal Federation of Aero Clubs of Australia, and the Western Sydney Women’s Empowering and Enablement Program – just to name a few. So, who wants a little support?
On average, just 5% of women are pilots, so we’ve set ourselves the mission of changing that. With our ’25by25’ initiative, we’re pursuing the goal of 25% women pilots at SFC by the year 2025. It’s our vision to break down barriers by empowering more women than ever to become the pilots they’ve always dream of becoming. With 25by25, we’re ensuring female pilots can dream without limits!
With SFC’s networking events, you’ll have the opportunity to gain industry insights, and connect with pilots of all backgrounds – both current and veteran. Their inspiring stories, including how they overcame obstacles to their flying dreams, will empower you to chase your dreams.
There’s more to learning than just study, and we’ve found a way to mix your learning with fun getaways. SFC’s calendar is crammed full of fun club events, including flyaways, movie nights, and much more. Get involved, unwind, and mingle with fellow lovers of flight!
Ready for the next step, the airlines? Relax…SFC’s connection with Flightdeck Consulting means you’ll get all the preparation needed before you are even interviewed. With industry airline pilots providing guidance, support, and refinement of your flying skills and knowledge, you’ll have the edge you need to secure that leap into the industry you’ve forever dreamed of.
