Pacific Flight Services 1 Drover Road, Bankstown Aerodrome, New South Wales 2200

"Their rates are decent and relatively competitive having flown with them before, but the admin team could be better. I called them to ask about the CPL course and I was put on a list so that a senior flight instructor could call me which never happened. I called for the 2nd time and an instructor picked up where we proceeded to exchange contact details. I had a brief discussion about the CPL course, but when I expressed my interest, I didn't get any sort of follow up email with regard to the sign up process. Compared to BASAIR or SFC, the school seems quite unorganised; considering the age we're living in, I find it amusing that you need to email someone to get basic information when you could easily have a PDF document outlining everything you need to know. Hopefully they take the feedback on board because they are by far the most affordable flying school in Bankstown with VSL and they have heaps of potential to stand out."

"Great flight school!! Love the atmosphere. Instructors are very friendly and knowledgeable, always willing to help. Could not recommend this flight school enough. Instructors always help you give get the confidence you need to achieve/pass your solo checks/licences/ exams. Instructors always understand that students are in their learning phase which makes training feel like training rather than a test on every flight/day. Highly recommend you do your courses here. Training to get my CPL and it’s been a great experience so far."

"I had a look around different flight schools in Bankstown to do a CPL course before deciding to do a TIF at PFS and eventually join their CPL course, while other school are bigger and look fancier they just seem to regard you as just another number to push through, Pacific treats me like part of the family and genuinely care about my progress. The class sizes are smaller so you receive a lot more help during theory lessons and the instructors are happy to go over concepts 3 or 4 times to make sure you understand and are approachable at any time to answer questions. Even all the other students are willing to help and share resources they have made to help you succeed. As a student from Overseas myself the social events PFS would host helped me integrate into life in Sydney and made me feel welcomed. (BBQ days and social nights out) I would highly recommend this school to someone interested in a career in aviation."

"Strongly recommended. Professional and friendly instructors. I've flown over 120 hours with PFS and I am quite satisfied with my experience learning flying here."

"Doing some flight training here and don’t have a bad word to say about the team. The aircraft are always maintained and the staff are knowledgeable, approachable and generous with their time. Their fleet are primarily Single engine Piper aircraft which despite their age fly surprisingly well and really reinforce fundamental stick and rudder flight skills, Exactly what’s needed in the first few hundred hours of flight training. After interviewing several schools in the YSBK proximity I decided on Pacific and I’m glad I did. Looking forward to building my hours and racking up the endorsements with Pacific."
