Are you dreaming of taking to the skies and earning your Private Pilot’s License (PPL)? Look no further than Sky Trails, Lusaka’s premier flight school and Zambia’s second-ever operational Approved Training Organisation (ATO). Opened in January 2023, Sky Trails has already made a significant impact on aviation training in the region. With a strong focus on quality instruction and student success, we’re here to help you achieve your aviation goals in an environment that’s second to none.
Why Choose Sky Trails?
Exceptional Training Standards
Sky Trails offers a comprehensive Private Pilot’s License course designed to set you up for success. We train on a fleet of Cessna C172s, including the advanced R172K Hawk XP, providing a robust and varied training experience. Our instructors boast extensive and diverse aviation experience, ensuring you learn from the best in the industry.
Unlike many "factory production line" schools that rely on newly qualified pilots as teachers, Sky Trails’ instructors are seasoned professionals who tailor the training to each student’s pace and learning style. This personalized approach ensures that you not only meet but exceed the standards required for your PPL.
Flexible and Efficient Learning
We understand that life doesn’t stop when you decide to pursue your PPL. That’s why Sky Trails offers flexible scheduling, including training sessions on weekends and public holidays. This adaptability allows you to progress at a pace that suits your lifestyle, whether you’re a full-time professional or a student. Most of our graduates complete their licenses in under 60 hours of training, with many achieving their PPL just above the minimum 40-hour requirement.
Ideal Training Environment
Lusaka provides an unbeatable setting for pilot training. With reliable weather and controlled yet quiet airspace, you’ll gain valuable experience in a safe and manageable environment. As your skills develop, you’ll have access to smaller and varied runways nearby, preparing you for real-world flying conditions and challenges.
A Track Record of Success
Since our launch, five students have successfully completed the PPL course and are now certified pilots. Their achievements reflect the dedication and effectiveness of our training program.

From start to finish, the entire team has been incredibly professional, supportive, and committed to providing top-notch training and a deeper understanding of aviation. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also very patient and encouraging. They make complex concepts easy to understand and are genuinely invested in your success.I personally had no experience in the aviation field when I started, but now I’m confident to fly on my own. The flexibility in scheduling was a game-changer for me, as I managed to complete my PPL while holding a full-time job. The aircraft are well-maintained, and the school fosters a safe and friendly environment that makes learning to fly enjoyable.If you’re looking for a flight school that provides expert training in a supportive and professional atmosphere while making you feel like part of the family, I highly recommend Sky Trails.
