Blue Chip Flight School has it all – innovative flight education, advanced aviation training technology and world-class pilots. Our pilot training facilities are strategically situated at Wonderboom Airport, where flight training is available all year-round to make sure your adventure in becoming a pilot is streamlined.
At Blue Chip Flight School we don’t just love aviation; we live, breathe, sleep and even dream aviation. The lives we live are vastly different from what most people are used to. Aviation never sleeps – we even have our own language with words and terms like aileron, adverse yaw, altimeter, approach control, and altitude meter.
“An office with a view beats a desk job any day.”
We love the smell of aircraft tyres, while jet fuel and avgas smell like roses to us. Until you have seen the view from 1000 feet, you have no idea what you are missing! It is absolutely magical. With a Private Pilot Licence, you can see it whenever you want to; with a Commercial Pilot Licence you can see it every day…
“It’s amazing to meet so many great people from various cultures and backgrounds.”
The aviation industry is made up of extraordinary, unique people who share the passion of flying with specific energy and enthusiasm that is not seen elsewhere. When you become a pilot at Blue Chip, you join an instant family.
Blue Chip Flight School provides flight training from the Private Pilot Licence through to the Airline Transport Pilot Licence.
