Welcome to Sunshine Coast Sports Aviators — where great machines, great people, and a great place to fly come together.
Your Adventure Starts Here
It’s been a long time coming — and we’re excited to welcome you.
Sunshine Coast Sports Aviators is all about opening the door to aviation for the next generation of pilots. Whether you’re brand new to flying, dreaming about your first lesson, or already hooked and looking for a great place to fly, you’re in the right spot.
Why Fly on the Sunshine Coast?
The Sunshine Coast is one of the best places in Australia to fly. From the air, you’ll see golden beaches stretching along the coastline, crystal-clear water, rivers and headlands — then turn inland and fly over rolling green hills, forests, and the stunning hinterland. Every flight offers something different, and no two days in the air are ever the same.
Calm mornings, wide open spaces, and breathtaking views make this an ideal place to learn, build confidence, and fall in love with flying. It’s the kind of flying that reminds you why you wanted to be a pilot in the first place.

About the Club
The Sunshine Coast Sports Aviators Club, formerly known as The Sunshine Coast Hang Gliding Club and Conondale XC Flyers manages the operation of a range of flying sites on the Sunshine Coast and Hinterland. We aim to operate all sites in a safe, considerate and cooperative manner, ensuring that the interests of all parties are taken care of. We work in close cooperation with local councils, residents, airports and National Parks to maintain the interests of all stakeholders.
There are special requirements at a number of our sites, including requiring clearance from the Control Tower at Sunshine Coast Airport before taking off. You must be a current member of the SAFA and this club, to fly any of these sites. This is required by local bodies and is mandatory.
There are many experienced local pilots who are happy to guide and educate newcomers, and visitors to the area. Please contact a Club Safety Officer to get the latest information on a site before flying.
We are here to help. Fly safe and have fun!
