Your child can now realise his/her dreams of flying at SG Aviation Training – a flight school dedicated to fulfilling the budding passions of young aviators from 10 to 17 years old.
Established in 2017, this aviation school has developed a programme that infuses the teaching of aviation theory with application using facilities such as flight simulators. Knowledge of aerodynamics also helps Secondary School students in their study of Physics as they are better able to understand concepts such as gravitational force, lift, thrust and drag in the process of learning how to fly.
