Parakai Flying School is a training and aircraft rental provider with a broad range of services available.

Our school is run by pilots who love to fly and who subscribe to a Fun Flying Philosphy.

We cater to all Aviation Enthusiasts... From total beginners, just wanting to get their hands on the controls, to experienced pilots wanting to further their training or convert a license.

If you're not sure where to start, we'll help you choose the course of training that most suits your unique situation. We feel we are unbiased in helping you choose which license will suit you as we train for all types.

Our aircraft range from Certified Pipers and Cessnas, Light Sport Aircraft to Modern Fully Enclosed Advanced Microlights, all maintained to the highest standard by Licensed Aircraft Mechanical Engineers.

Our friendly team of instructors has a wide range of experience including those who still know what learning is like right through to 20,000+ hour ex-airline captains.

We are situated at Parakai Airfield, a low traffic, private airfield, which is a 25 minute drive through the countryside from the end of the Northwestern Motorway. Flying here offers some stunning scenery and interesting landscapes, including the Kaipara Habour and Muriwai Beach. In addition, Parakai Airfield has all usual amenities including several Flying Clubs, Clubrooms, Hangars and Fuel (MOGAS & AVGAS).
