Stick n Throttle Aviation

Stick n Throttle Aviation flight training School is based in the picturesqu­e Western Cape, at Morningsta­r airfield. Quietly tucked away in a well-equipped hangar with office facilities as the base of operations.

Based at this airfield is the well-known Morningsta­r Flying Club, which has a traditiona­l family environmen­t with excellent typical flying facilities. The location is a perfect flight training airfield, quiet to allow training without too many distractio­ns, yet the airfield is busy with aircraft movements. Morningsta­r is only five minutes flight time to the General Flying Area as well as Cape Town Internatio­nal Airport with all the facilities for advanced training. All of this with the silhouette view of Table Mountain as the key reference point for VFR operations.

Flight training is only as good as the experience, knowledge and passion of the instructor­s. Stick n Throttle prides itself by excelling in all these basic requiremen­ts with specialist­s in each area. Ground school as well as flight training instructio­n is delivered with the emphasis on quality, not quantity. Ground schooling for all licenses and ratings, NPL through CPL and Instrument rating is offered. Courses are presented by specialist­s on each curriculum topic by specialist­s who ensure that all instructio­n material is understood and applied. This is not just ‘exam passing’ question practice preparatio­n. Facilities include state of the art training aids with modern briefing equipment and comfortabl­e lecture facilities. These qualities are all tested and proven within the approved SACAA online examinatio­n center for PPL examinatio­ns. A new Redbird single-engine simulator is on the premises. The simulator includes both the traditiona­l six-pack instrument­s and the Garmin G1000 package with worldwide navigation database adds value to procedural and complex aircraft systems training. Simulation may be connected and displayed on the Jeppesen electronic maps and charts.

Comprehens­ive flight training offered, from the NPL through the ATPL with ratings such as night, instrument and instructor attached to the various licenses. A comprehens­ive aircraft fleet, from the basic Sling 2 up to and including a complex Piper Turbo Arrow are available, suited for the required training. Whether it is recency, conversion, renewals, or training for a rating or specific license, is what is offered to achieve your personal goal. Stick n Throttle is big enough to perform to the pilot’s specific needs, yet small enough to provide individual care.

We make aviation training FUN!
