Learn to Fly

We have a number of clubs ranging from the New South Wales border to Northern Queensland. Find a flight school, local club, or tandem experience wherever you are located!

Our Mission.
QSA represents the interests of our Affiliated Sports Aviation Clubs and their members with key Queensland state-based stakeholders. Our enduring mission is to enable our pilots and passengers to safely enjoy exhilarating flight experiences, whilst providing a sustainable future for this to occur.
Aviation flight experiences. If you have an urge to fly but are unsure of where to begin, join us by starting off with a first-taste tandem flight. In a tandem flight, you will be seated with a professional pilot who controls the flight so you can relax and enjoy your time up in the air. It’s the easiest way to get a first taste of what it feels like to fly.
