Learn to Fly and our sister company Wanaka Helicopters, have teamed up to provide unparalleled Southern Alps flight training in aeroplanes as well as helicopters. Our Diploma in Aviation (Aeroplane) is delivered by the team at Wanaka Helicopters in collaboration with Learn To Fly. We want our graduates to be the most skilled general aviation candidates in the job market. Ground courses integrate rotary and fixed wing knowledge so that you can follow the career pathway that is right for you, while appreciating how we can best share the skies.

​

Learn to Fly NZ with Wanaka Helicopters offers a unique Diploma programme in that unlike other training organisations in the South Island we are based within the mountains. In less than half an hour's flying time it is possible to experience both coastal flying, (the West Coast is only 50 miles to the West of Wanaka), with the true mountain flying in the Southern Alps along the way.

​

Study core flight theory, plus essential aviation subjects for commercial operators. Acquire superior flight skills by training in a mountainous environment with our highly experienced flight instructors during the two-year full-time qualification. All courses are taught at Wanaka Airport where trainees actively participate as support in daily commercial operations as part of their training.

​

Wanaka Helicopters’ Diploma in Aviation Rotary includes everything you require for a commercial license, plus extra flight opportunities, ratings, and invaluable ground operations experience.

​

Wanaka Helicopters is the largest and most experienced flight training school in New Zealand. We are the only aviation training school that offer both the Diploma in Aviation Rotary and Aeroplane. We are committed to producing exceptional pilots who have the potential to be very successful in their chosen aviation career.
