Do you dream of flying? Aviation is a career that allows you to dream big and earn big. If you want to join a prestigious aviation school, you must consider IAANZ, located in Christchurch, New Zealand. 

New Zealand is one of the best places for aspiring pilots. 

The International Aviation Academy of New Zealand (IAANZ) has some exclusive benefits that help students progress smoothly through their chosen courses. They have recently introduced eAviator, an eLearning platform that can help you take the first step towards an aviation career. 

Here are a few frequently asked questions you need to know before you begin your course

Who can learn to Fly?

Anyone of any age can learn to fly. There are no requirements to fly with an instructor in New Zealand. There are specific requirements for going solo or holding a license. 

What can I do with a PPL?

A PPL allows the holder to operate as a pilot in command of an aircraft as long as it is not for hire or reward. This means that you can fly for fun by yourself or with passengers as long as you are appropriately current and rated for that flight. Once you gain your PPL, you can then move on to night-rating, fly different aircraft types, or even try your hand at flying twin-engine aircraft.

How long does it take?

Length may vary depending on factors such as weather or schedules. Usually, our members take 6 – 12 months if they have no interruptions. However, the training is designed around you and your schedule and can be tailored to suit your specific needs.
