Great Southern Flying School 1405 Barwon Heads Road, Connewarre, Victoria 3227

"My first interaction with GSFS was an initial phone call with Murray and it bought me to tears when he said it would be a privilege to give my son the experience of flying. Following that Shane started lessons with Luca, and over the following two years Luca looked forward to and loved every minute of his time flying with Shane. Shane was just so patient, encouraging, supportive and it literally was one of the most positive experiences of his life. Thankyou to both Murray and Shane for being consummate professionals, safe, reliable and with huge hearts, you have made a big difference in our lives! Nadine Kuc"

"I completed my Private Pilots Licence with Great Southern Flying School after completing training with 3 other flying schools. I cannot recommend Great Southern Flying School enough for anyone wishing to pursue a carrier in aviation, or just gain their pilots licence as a hobby or for fun. I completed the last 37hrs of my PPL (which was 48hrs in total on my test date) with Murray. Murray is an exceptional instructor whom customises his instructing style to each student and teaches to the highest standard, not expect anything but the highest quality from his students. No matter if you are completing your RAAUS RPC, CASA RPL, PPL, or CPL, Murray teaches and expects commercial standards, so in turn your flying skills will be at Commercial standards, meaning that when you sit your exam the flight examiner has no hesitation in passing you. Making you the safest and most professional pilots in Victoria."

"I have been flying with and instructed by Great Southern Flying School for the past 18 months. I returned to flying after an 18 year hiatus with instructor Murray Medway bringing me back up to speed, in October 2021. The relaxed and thorough instructional style, both on the ground and in the air was highly professional and exceptional. Since then I have been flying with GSFS on a regular basis. I needed some remedial training recently after a three month absence on an aircraft type. I completed this today over an hour’s flying, both dual and solo. Murray’s business partner, Shane Stanley, a former airline pilot, is equally as passionate and thorough, instructing student pilots in the Tecnam. I cannot recommend both Murray and Shane highly enough. Any shortfall in my flying ability is quickly identified and remedied by either of them. Can’t wait to get to go flying again very soon."

"My son loves learning to fly at Great Southern Flying School ! We have always found Shane and Murray to be very friendly, proffesional, thorough and always very encouraging. It is obvious that they love teaching their students to fly. I cannot recomend them enough."

"Shane and Murray are both very skilled pilots and great teachers. They make learning to fly very easy and fun, they are great people and are very friendly and I don’t think there is anyone I would rather learn to fly with."
