Who Are We?
A Little About Us
Here at Wrighton Aviation our mission is to provide a new approach to flight training in the Mackay and the Whitsundays region. Wrighton Aviation was formed when our founder, a flight instructor in Mackay, noticed the limited options for modern flight training, with many outdated aircraft dominating the flight training scene. Our aim is to provide cutting-edge flight training that embraces innovation, leverages advanced technology, and meets the demands of a rapidly evolving industry. An approach, not seen anywhere in the region.
We strive to instil a deep understanding of aviation principles into all our students, emphasising safety as the cornerstone of our training. By promoting a strong sense of responsibility, professionalism, and a continuous pursuit of excellence, we shape our students into skilled aviators who embrace a lifelong commitment to learning.
We believe in a student-centered approach to education, tailoring our training programs to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual. We inspire our students to reach their full potential, building their confidence and preparing them to face the challenges of the aviation industry.

We maintain a rigorous safety culture, instilling in our students a strong sense of situational awareness, risk management, and a commitment to upholding the highest safety standards throughout their aviation journey.
As an integral part of the aviation community, we actively contribute to the advancement of the industry.
