Introduction to the thrill of flying
About
For over fifty years, Scouts Aotearoa’s Walsh Memorial Scout Flying School has provided the highest quality aviation training in the country for budding young pilots aged 16-19.
In early January about 70 students attended the popular two-week long training camp at Matamata. The Flying School has many past students with successful careers in aviation. This year we were pleased to welcome Angela Cronin to present our young pilots with their Wings.
Please direct any questions about the school here.
Eligibility
Students must be New Zealand citizens. The course starts at the very basics of learning to fly. Students should have no more than minimal previous flight experience (up to 2 hours, preferrably only a trial flight at the local aero club or flying school). Students must turn 16 before they can legally fly solo.
Dates
6th – 20th January 2022
Costs
Approximately $2050 for first year Venturer and Ranger students or approximately $630 for returning students. The fee for first year non-Venturer/non-Ranger students is approximately $2350.
Applications

You will understand that these are uncertain times to run an activity but we are keen to have the 56th Walsh run in January 2022.
