History of CTFTC
Back in 2003, there was already demand for a cost-effective but high quality flying training environment in the Cape Town area. This was the motivation for setting up Cape Town Flight Training Centre (CTFTC) at Cape Winelands Airport (formerly Fisantekraal Airfield).
From the first day of operation CTFTC has offered, and continues to offer, the most professional and cost-effective flight training in the Western Cape
From small beginnings the school has gone from strength to strength. We now boast a staff of 25 people including 11 full time instructors and a fleet of nine aircraft.
All aspects of private and professional flying training are catered for, and we look forward to the pending introduction of Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT).
Our safety record throughout the entire period of operation remains unblemished – a testament to the professionalism of the organisation and our staff.
Through the years a great many of our former pupils, having achieved their qualifications with CTFTC, have gone on successfully to take positions in the aviation industry as flight crew. We invite you to our former pupils page for more details.
About You
You may be paying your own way. You may be sponsored by parents. You may be lucky enough to be commercially sponsored. Although there is no minimum educational requirement to get started, you will already have a high standard of self-discipline, a strong sense of responsibility and be dedicated to your goals. Contact us if you want the very best in flying training.
Official Accreditation
Cape Town Flight Training Centre (CTFTC) is a licensed Aviation Training Organisation (ATO) of the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA). We are required to conform to international standards as set out by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and must pass formal audit by the SACAA on an annual basis. The SACAA is in turn audited by the FAA (USA) and EASA (European) authorities.
About Us
CTFTC is committed to providing the highest standard of flight training available for those wishing to work towards their private or commercial Licence.
We also offer a comprehensive range of services to qualified aviators who are interested in advancing their ability, or simply keeping their Licences current.
At CTFTC you will be personally guided through each stage of your training programme – from the first, introductory flight – all the way through to the day you receive your qualification.
Your training course will be customised according to your own time and financial constraints. Through the example set by our highly professional instructors, we wish to inspire each and every student to continually strive to improve his/her competency, either as a recreational or professional pilot.
We hope this website provides you with all you need know about us. However, we would love for you to come and visit us at Cape Winelands Airport (formerly Fisantekraal Airfield), discuss your objectives in person, and perhaps take an Introductory Flight to experience what flying is all about.
We look forward to meeting you!

Begin Your Career At CTFTC
The people featured here are a small selection of the many CTFTC Former Pupils who have gone to work in the aviation industry as Professional Pilots.
Damian Swartz
The exceptional quality of training provided by CTFTC equipped me with the essential skills required to excel in my aviation career. Even to this day, I continue to boast about and draw valuable lessons from my time at CTFTC. I also had the privilege of working as a flight instructor at CTFTC for six years, alongside other incredible instructors, and trained many passionate students.
Charl Brand
My experience at CTFTC was nothing other than positive. CTFTC taught me to think outside of the box and to never give up. From day 1 all of the instructors always made the time to sit and listen and build a foundation of never giving up and that dreams are always reachable and with the right people by your side everything is achievable.
Lee Jacobs
My experience at CTFTC, to this day is still what I regard as the most important part of my flying career. I was incredibly lucky to have top quality instructors at CTFTC, starting with Martin Naude, who did my PPL instruction, I then completed spinning with Andre Groenewald, had Roald Martins send me solo and Pablo Fraga who did my PPL test. Once completing my PPL, I completed all my CPL subjects while still at CTFTC, had Colin Gray test me for my Night Rating and then completed some hour building. I have not completed an instructors rating yet, but when I do have the time to, I would definitely want to complete it with CTFTC. My biggest thanks goes to Martin Naude, who taught me how to fly and set an extremely high standard. I will always be proud to tell anyone I meet, that I was once a student of CTFTC!
Morten Hibbin
I trained from scratch (intro flight in 2007) up to commercial license in 2012, instructors in 2013 up to ATPL in 2017, all at CTFTC. Great training and the opportunity to push and thrive within the company as an instructor launched my career on an ideal path where I got to enjoy my flying, make good connections and learn the skills I needed to succeed as a pilot.
Warren Gedye
I received nothing short of exceptional training at CTFTC. From the top down, the centre was run like a tight ship, however at the right time and place, there was always good humour and a light atmosphere. From my very first phone call to my would-be instructor Andre Groenewald, asking if he could accommodate my very specific and tight-schedule training requirements as I had out-of-country work commitments, he pulled out all the stops and catered terrifically to my training needs like it was no issue at all. I found the aircraft at all times meticulously maintained, with very few snags if any. I found that to be attributed to the influence of a very fastidious CEO, Findlay Smith. Safety, I found was always number one, and never compromised. Again, some strong tools in my aviation toolbox that I continually draw from in my present flying career.
Idris Mazar
My flying Career started at CTFTC in 2013 in the beautiful city of Cape Town. As a student at the Flight school, I enjoyed every part of my flight training. The flight school was very welcoming, and every staff member from the front desk to the instructors were always willing to go the extra mile in providing the best service available. I’ve had the chance to fly around the World but Cape Town will always be one of the favourite cities, and thanks to CTFTC it made it even more special. For every individual wanting to kick start their flight training, I highly recommend CTFTC
Jacques Louw
I completed all my training with CTFTC and worked as a flight instructor for 2 years. CTFTC has one of the highest standards in training which, if taken to heart, sets an incredible foundation for a pilot to grow from and is widely recognized in the industry
Francois Strydom
I built a solid foundation together with an amazing instructor. Very thankful for my time spent here (Instructor: Pablo Fraga) (also in Cathay).
Bjarne Graupe
A great atmosphere and good learning structure. Was able to complete my CPL from first flight ever to CPL/IR in 11 months. Hard work and lots of flying fun at Cape Winelands Airport!!
Ryan Desmond

Richard Timmis
My experience at CTFTC taught me the importance of being properly prepared before my flight, knowing my flow check and my aircraft before taking to the skies. Proper planning prevents poor performance.
Ryan Outram
Micheal Metcalf
One thing that I’ll always take with me from CTFTC was my time during my instructors rating and working as an instructor. Doing that course was a real eye opener for me. I learnt so much more about flying as well as a lot more about myself as a person.
Roald Maartens
World class training at CTFTC created a solid foundation in my flying career through abinitio to advance training, as well as the instructors rating. Once I became a qualified instructor, I was very fortunate to take up employment with CTFTC, which gave me a massive headstart within the industry.
