Our Graduate

Coen Johnston

“Through Learn To Fly Melbourne, I completed my Commercial Pilots Licence, Diploma of Aviation and Night Rating. After completing the initial training in Townsville, I relocated to the main facility in Moorabbin where I transitioned from the Cessna 172 to the Diamond DA 40 with G1000, became familiar with the complex operating procedures around Melbourne and completed my final flight tests and studies. I am extremely grateful to those at LTF who allowed me to achieve my goal of attaining my CPL.”
