Welcome to the New Zealand International Commercial Pilot Academy

We deliver a range of pilot training and aviation related academic qualification options to students from both New Zealand and the wider Asia Pacific Region.

We are a New Zealand Civil Aviation Authority (NZCAA) Certificated Aviation Training Organisation (Part 141) (No. TR85984), maintain a New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) Private Training Establishment (PTE) registration (Ministry of Education No 8074) with the highest possible rating for NZQA's External Evaluation and Review.  In addition we are a signatory to the New Zealand Education (Pastoral Care of Tertiary and International Learners) Code of Practice 2021. 

We want our graduates to be more than qualified pilots. In today’s aviation world we produce graduates who are well skilled and have a disposition to succeed in team flying environments. Everything we do is focused on student achievement and ability to succeed in your career as a pilot.

You will find New Zealand an outstanding country to fly in with a wide diversity of terrain and weather in which to develop and practice your new skills.  Locally we have three airfields ranging from a busy regional airport through to a large military base.  All provide outstanding opportunities to work in both controlled and uncontrolled airspace utilising a full range of navigation aids and landing surfaces.

Details of our certifications and registrations can be found in the ABOUT section or on the NZCAA and NZQA Websites.
