SFT Student Achievements Round-Up

Our students have been smashing their aviation goals lately and the team at SFT are proud of the hard work and dedication shown by each pilot. We are pleased to be able to share some of these achievements with you, so join us in congratulating all of our latest SFT star perfromers!

Visharl – First Solo

Well done to Visharl on completing his First Solo! Visharl has been working hard with Instructor Clarissa and flew brilliantly during his solo check with Kate, having perfect weather for such a memorable flight. We look forward to seeing him progress through the rest of his RPL.

Matt – First Solo

Huge congratulations to Matt for completing his First Solo. Matt has been flying with Kayla over the last 6 months and had been rather unlucky with the weather having lots of lessons cancelled, but that never stopped his motivation or can-do attitude! When Matt flew with Instructor Pete, it started out a bit hazy but turned into a beautiful day. Matt is now conducting his subsequent solos and will be working hard towards his RPL.

Thomas - RPL

Well done to Thomas on passing his RPL flight test! Thomas has been training hard with Instructors Kayla and Clarissa, progressing quickly through the RPL syllabus and making the most of days off work, weekends and good weather. Thomas had a lovely day for his flight with examiner Steve and we hope to see him back in the air soon for his PPL. Well done, Thomas!

Abbey – PIFR

Incredible stuff from our resident Doctor turned pilot Abbey Tan for passing her Private Instrument Rating (PIFR) with us earlier this month! After obtaining her medical degree and PPL late last year, Abbey was not done learning and set her sights on a new goal - obtaining her Instrument Rating. She passed IREX with flying colours after 2 weeks of hard study and started training in the simulator shortly after with Kayla. After many hours in the sim, they progressed to the aircraft and practiced RNP approaches at various airports in regional NSW. Abbey flew with examiner Mark for her flight test and did a sound job. We wish her blue skies and tailwinds moving forward.

Gordon – RPL

Congratulations to Gordon who obtained his Recreational Pilot Licence! Gordon had been flying with Instructor Aaron but took a break to focus on his university studies, it was great to see him back and pursuing his flight training for his RPL. We wish Gordon all the best in his future aviation endeavours

Kate – MEIR

Congratulations to our instructor Kate on successfully passing her Multi-Engine Instrument Rating in PIE! This achievement reflects her dedication, professionalism, and commitment to continuous development as a pilot and instructor. We’re incredibly proud to see Kate reach this important milestone and look forward to watching her continue to inspire the next generation of aviators. Well done, Kate!
