Location
Students who complete the Mainland Diploma in Aviation course graduate with a Private Pilot’s Licence, a Commercial Pilot’s Licence, a multi engine instrument rating and an instructor’s rating. Air Transport Pilot Licence exams are an additional option.
Mainland has a fleet of ten training aircraft including two tail wheel aircraft which are used to increase flying skills in general and also to provide industry specific training to students wanting to pursue careers in general aviation.
Dunedin International Airport provides a great learning environment for students. The close location to the Lakes District enables students to become competent in flying over mountainous terrain and in varying weather conditions. With two of the most experienced instructors in the country Mainland has a very high pass rate and a high percentage of former students are now flying for international airlines, domestic airlines and third level operators. Our relatively small numbers of students (20 domestic and 20 international) allow us to focus on quality and on each student individually and our graduates have a high job placement rate.
Mainland Aviation College is the training side of Mainland Air Services 2010 Ltd which also operates a busy charter business with three twin engine aircraft. Students who show ability and focus are normally taken on as instructors and then worked into the charter side, gaining invaluable twin engine charter time, critical hour building experience which is highly valued by airline and general aviation employers.
Whether you want to be an airline pilot or pursue a career in general aviation Mainland can deliver the training you require. All prospective students are encouraged to visit our Facebook page or our website.
