White Star Aviation - Ballina, New South Wales

Aiden R.

My names Aiden Rose and I’ve just completed my Mulit-engine instrument rating with WhiteStar Aviation.

The quality of training and the friendly environment at this facility has fuelled my passion for aviation, a school I would not second guess to recommend to any future pilots seeking this as a career choice or even a hobby!

A big thanks to everyone involved.
Love to the Whitestar family,
Aiden

I recently completed my CPL + MECIR at White Star Aviation as part of the TSA Cadetship program and the experience was nothing but incredible.
The instructors are knowledgeable, professional and passionate about flying. They tailor and provide clear, concise training to suit different learning styles of students.
The fleet of aircraft are well maintained, modern and looked after.
Nothing but good things to say about White Star and very grateful for the opportunity of a full time job directly after training!

I recently completed my multi IFR training with White Star Aviation. The training was thorough and personalised, and I felt far above adequately prepared to sit the flight test for the rating. Great gear, knowledgeable and helpful instructors and I thoroughly recommend them!

Recently completing training for my
CPL I honestly could not have asked for a more inspiring experience.
Across the board this school represents the utmost integrity, professionalism, safety focused training and camaraderie. All instructors very qualified and experienced, with the ability to enhance your strengths and strengthen your weaknesses. My training throughout, felt like a personalised tailor-made program, meeting my every need and requirement, all of which felt above industry standard.

Whitestar really turned my flying training around. I'd been at another school which was focused on full-time, integrated students which meant, as a part-time, self-funded student, I was given a very low priority and treated like a second class student by the management and CFI (who didn't even know my name or where my training was at after 2 years!). Even the instructors at the other school admitted that modular students were seen by the management as purely a source of money.

Changed to Whitestar and have never been happier. JJ and Nathan immediately set up an individualised programme to help me meet the requirements of my CPL and were super flexible and accommodating.

The aircraft at Whitestar are also in great condition and much newer and better kept than the aircraft at other schools.

Looking forward to doing my MECIR with Whitestar soon! Can't recommend the place highly enough.

No better place to learn to fly than White Star aviation, recently completed my CPL and on the instrument rating currently. Nathan and JJ run a tight ship with an exceptional administrator Chantelle.

Amazing flight school, knowledgeable instructors who are very patient with new students. Such a welcoming atmosphere they make everyone feel they can fly✈️! Campbell, Luke, Nathan and JJ are the best of the best and make a potentially stressful learning environment fun and enjoyable. Thanks WhiteStar 😊
