The Johannesburg Flying Academy (JFA) is a professional CAA registered and approved flying school, based at Panorama Airfield, South of Johannesburg,South Africa.
JFA is owned and operated by a father and Son team, Roy and Marc Gregson, known as the “Gregson Brothers” Protea flying team. Julian Barraclough is our resident, fulltime PPL instructor. JFA operates an Aviate Products Raptor 582 Trike (Weight Shift Microlight), and a TAF Sling Aircraft. The Raptor Trike is a locally built, durable, two place, flex wing microlight, similar to the aircraft flown in the World Microlight Championships by the “Gregson Brothers”. If you want to fly, the best way to experience flight safely, is to go for an introductory or demo flight, with one of JFA’s experienced flying instructors, in either a Weight shift Microlight or Light Sport Aircraft, depending on your needs or personal preference.
