Welcome to the All African Airways Flight School

At All African Airways, we cater for a wide range of pilots and flight simulator enthusiasts. If you're new to flight simulation, feel free to use the aircraft in our Flight School, which will get you going with the basics of mastering the principles of flight in no time.

The All African Airways Flight School is based at Lanseria International airport, which has an ICAO code of FALA and an IATA code of HLA.

Lanseria airport is situated just to the West of Johannesburg International airport, in the Gauteng province of South Africa, and, at an elevation of 4 521 feet, it has a comfortable, long asphalt runway of approximately 9 820 feet.

Runway 07 is equipped with an Instrument landing system, and a VOR (LIV), is available at the airfield for navigation purposes.

Our Training Aircraft

We currently have the following two General aviation aircraft available at our flight school, for you to book, in order to get flying.

Student pilots are encouraged to use these aircraft to practice circuits or short local flights around Lanseria, and once you're ready for some serious cross-country flying, to engage in our General Aviation tour, which is discussed below.

Cessna 152 (ZS-111)

Many pilots started their career in a Cessna 152, 2-seater trainer. Student pilots are encouraged to master the basics of flight, and to use the baby of our VA, the Cessna 152 (ZS-111), for this purpose. If you'd like to request another General Aviation aircraft to be added to our training fleet, please contact one of our staff members.

The Cessna 152 is an American two-seat, fixed-tricycle-gear, general aviation airplane, used primarily for flight training and personal use. It was based on the earlier Cessna 150, incorporating a number of minor design changes and a slightly more powerful engine with a longer time between overhauls.

The Cessna 152 has been out of production for almost forty years, but many are still airworthy and are in regular use for flight training.

All African Airways pilots, fee free to book our Cessna-152 for a training flight or General Aviation tour today! If you're a MSFS-2020 user, Google for a free mod that will take the default C152 to the next level.

Cessna 172 (ZS-222)

Student pilots are encouraged to master the basics of flight, and to use our 4-seater, Cessna 172 (ZS-111) for this purpose. If you'd like to request another General Aviation aircraft to be added to our training fleet, please contact one of our staff members.

The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is an American four-seat, single-engine, high wing, fixed-wing aircraft, manufactured by the Cessna Aircraft Company. First flown in 1955, more 172's have been built than any other aircraft.

It was developed from the 1948 Cessna 170, but with tricycle landing gear, rather than conventional landing gear.

The Skyhawk name was originally used for a trim package, but was later applied to all standard-production 172 aircraft, while some upgraded versions were marketed as the Cutlass.

No need to delay, book our Cessna-172 for a training flight today!
