Our Approach
Lisa and her team recognize and appreciate that every student has a different background, wants and needs. Training is only progressed at an individual’s pace, in incremental steps so they quickly gain mastery and feel they’ve achieved something significant from the very early stages of their course.
We only believe in passing on the best and safest teaching styles to our students. Lisa is constantly striving to learn new teaching techniques and styles, so students can learn easier and safer and be able to achieve their dreams of free-flying.
We are very lucky to be able to operate from the Oz Sky Ranch which is a purpose-built flight park. The training hills and grounds have been sculpted and grassed to make your learning experience enjoyable.
We believe in offering you the best learning environment possible for tandems and courses.

We are willing to work with you to make your dream of free flight come true. No matter your age, fitness, disability’s or fears. If you have the passion, then we have the time for you. We believe in making your dreams come true.
Every moment of flight training will be memorable. We try to ensure you have an excellent photographic record of your flight training experience.
