Fly Oz Cowra prides itself on its superior training and student experience. But don’t just take our word for it, in 2019 we were awarded the excellence in small business award from the Cowra Business Chamber and our Head of Operations, Lyn Gray, was awarded the Flight Instructor of the year by the Royal Aeronautical Society in 2018.
Student pilots, licensed pilots and flight instructors seeking to upgrade their skills, travel from all around Australia, Asia, Europe and North America to be trained at Fly Oz.
With small, dedicated classes capped strictly at 10 to 12 students, you’ll never feel like a number. Cowra enjoys clean regional airspace and superb weather consistency, unlocking significantly more flying days per year than congested coastal airports. You spend less time waiting on hold at the taxiway and more time clocking hours in the air.
Fly Oz operates from a modern hangar at Cowra Airport, with air-conditioned classrooms, dedicated student study spaces, modern technology and facilities designed for future growth.
Fly Oz graduates go on to fly commercially. We’re building a full outcomes report from our placement history, and will publish it here once it’s complete.
I completed my Multi-Engine Instrument Rating at this college and found the training to be well-structured, focused, and professional. The environment supported growth, with instructors who truly cared about helping students become confident, capable pilots.

Having been to a few flight schools for various licences and ratings, Fly Oz has by far been the best experience on my Aviation Journey. All the staff are amongst some of the nicest, helpful and genuine people you’ll meet in Aviation who show the utmost respect and care for you and your training needs. They set a high standard for quality over quantity and produce highly competent and confident pilots in the industry through their ability to help you realise your potential in a positive training environment.

I’ve just completed my Design Features Endorsements (Retractable undercarriage & Manual Propeller Pitch Control) with Fly Oz. I cannot speak highly enough of the professionalism displayed from the CEO/owners down through to the office staff and the 3 instructors I dealt with (I have no doubt the others are just as brilliant given how the organisation is run).

It's a deliberate choice. Smaller classes mean students get more attention and are less likely to fall behind.
