About Sky Raiders

Sky Raiders Flight Training Services provides a complete and dedicated training environment, where you can achieve your objective in the most efficient and cost effective manner.

The school is located at Rand Airport in Germiston. The climate varies from an average temperature of 30dC in the summer months to around 15dC in the winter months. In both our wetter and drier months, we are able to complete short courses in the allocated times. The advantage of flying in these conditions is the exposure to situations, such as decreased aircraft performance, that you will most definitely encounter in your future flying career. Weather is one of the major problems inexperienced pilots have to contend with, and teaching you to be conscious of the dangers involved, is one of our objectives.

Rand Airport controls most unscheduled, light aircraft traffic in the area and the busy airspace ensures students will gain an exceptional sense of situational awareness and will compete in radio procedures at all busy aerodromes. You will master the basic training skills in the general flying area, situated approximately 15 minutes away, then later you will learn to apply your skills operationally in the surrounding airspaces, which are situated within a 30-40 min radius and equipped with the necessary navigation and approach facilities, including secondary and primary radar.

Sky Raiders Flight Training Services offers everything from flight instruction to commercial pilot as well as plane rental to licensed pilots (subject to a checkride). We also offer Night Rating, Instrument Rating, Instructors Rating, Multi Engine Conversion and Aerobatics Training. Sky Raiders Flight Training Services operates from 8 AM to 5 PM – 7 days a week as well as night flight training with prior arrangement.
