Phoenix Aero Club (originally the NSW Police Aero Club) has proudly served the aviation community since 1977, delivering high-quality, affordable flight training in Sydney. Originally based at Hoxton Park Airport, we relocated to Camden Airport following its closure in December 2008. In 2011, we expanded further by acquiring the Liverpool Flying School, strengthening our training capabilities and our commitment to developing safe, skilled pilots.

Now a registered charity, Phoenix Aero Club continues to make aviation accessible to everyone. We operate under a CASA-approved CASR Part 141 Flight Training Certificate, offering training for Recreational, Private, and Commercial Pilot Licences. Our club model is unique—entirely volunteer-led and not-for-profit—allowing us to offer cost-effective flight training while maintaining the highest safety and operational standards.

Our instructional team has included notable figures such as John Naughton, Keith Robey MBE, and Senja Robey. Today, our Head of Operations and Chief Flight Instructor, Jonathan Lam, leads the team with a clear mission: to revive affordable aviation and mentor the next generation of pilots in a professional, inclusive, and safety-first environment.

Whether you’re just starting your journey or looking to build experience through aircraft hire, Phoenix Aero Club offers a welcoming space for aviation enthusiasts from all backgrounds. Join us at Camden Airport and take your first step into the sky with one of Sydney’s most respected flight schools.
