Helicopter training

Pacific Flying School is also planning to introduce helicopter flight training in 2022 as well. A major advantage of the Pacific Flying School being part of the Joyce Aviation Fiji Group is that the students have involvement with the charter operations of Sunflower Aviation and Heli-Tours Fiji. One good example is very own former student who is now flying for Skydive and charter operation for Sunflower Aviation, Kavishneel Kapoor.

“Ever since I was small, I was fascinated while looking at planes flying over my house,” Mr Kapoor said.

“I used to dream about planes and think what if I could also fly high and fast! Eventually that fascination turned into ambition and in 2017, it turned into a reality when I joined Pacific Flying School to learn to fly.

“On July 7th, 2017, I got my first solo flight and to be honest that feeling of taking control of the aircraft for the first time alone and experiencing that adrenaline rush is indescribable. I think one of my best and memorable school days was spent at Pacific Flying School with the best learning environment.

“If I can give one piece of advice to anyone, it would be to Be passionate about what you want to do and work towards it, keep learning and I promise you, you’ll enjoy it”.
