SFC Australia

A warm welcome to the newest class at Sydney Flight College, Bankstown campus.

These students have just begun their Double Diploma of Aviation - Commercial Pilot Package, delivered through our hybrid training structure. They will complete their aviation theory and academic studies at our Sydney campus before heading to Tamworth for their practical flight training.

This structure allows students to build a strong knowledge foundation in the city while gaining initial focused flying experience in Tamworth’s unique training environment.

We look forward to seeing their progress as they begin their journey into aviation.

Sydney Flight College has introduced the ALSIM Airliner Simulator at SFC Pilot Academy Tamworth, strengthening the training environment for students progressing toward airline operations.

The simulator replicates Boeing 737 MAX and Airbus A320 flight deck operations and allows students to practise airline procedures, crew coordination, and operational decision making within a controlled training environment. It is one of only two ALSIM Airliner Simulators currently operating in Australia.

The simulator was officially unveiled during a ceremony attended by Tamworth Mayor Russell Webb and The Hon. Kevin Anderson MP, marking an important milestone for aviation training in the region.

Looking back on a key training milestone.
Liam, Aaisha, Saleh, Elliott, Harsh and Raymond have successfully completed their First Solo Flight.

The First Solo is built on preparation, discipline, and readiness.
A strong progression in each of their journeys.

Well done to all on this achievement.

A proud moment at SFC as Tyrone achieves his Recreational Pilot Licence. ✨

Congratulations, Tyrone. We look forward to supporting you as you work toward your next licence.

Fuel contamination checks are completed as part of every pre-flight inspection.
A fuel sample is visually examined to confirm it is free from water or contamination before flight.

This check is one of the practical procedures that supports how SFC maintains a strong safety focus across daily training operations.

Consistent fuel verification reinforces disciplined decision-making on the ground and forms part of SFC’s commitment to maintaining a safety margin above minimum requirements.

A little colour on the horizon today.
If there is a pot of gold up there, we will still run through the checklist before going anywhere near it. 🍀
