Course locations

Caboolture
Our Caboolture airfield is located just 50km north from Brisbane, and is easily accessed by a 40–50-minute drive or 1 hour train trip from the city centre. It is an ideal location to experience a number of different terrains including coastline, open water, cityscapes and mountains. Caboolture Airfield is located outside of controlled airspace, so there are fewer disruptions and delays to your initial training. As you gain more flying experience, we are close enough to Brisbane’s busy and controlled airspace that you can be exposed to real-world flying situations.
