New Zealand pilot training is highly sought after by airlines and General Aviation (GA) companies worldwide.

Ardmore Flying School is approved by the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand (CAANZ) which is internationally renowned for its insistence in high standards of flight training operation, delivery and safety. It is also one of the most respected Authorities with the highest integrity in issuing all New Zealand pilot licenses. This means Ardmore Flying School can deliver better-prepared and legitimately licensed pilots, trained to exceed ICAO standards.

Pilot training in Auckland is also a lot of fun — you will fly in open areas for training, in and around the busy Auckland Airport Control Zone and have access to varied terrain and airports as you travel north and south on your navigation flights. You will see a great deal of this wonderful country as you progress through your training and gain a dimension to your training unobtainable anywhere else.
