Alpha Female Fridays - Flying High with Terry

Updated: May 4, 2023

#AlphaFemaleFridays spotlight we soar and fly with Palesa Terry Khoza.


A pilot passionate about aviation and all things science. Palesa works as a flight instructor and safety officer . She has worked for training institutions like AVIC International Flight Training Academy as a flight commander as well. An institution that provides world-class training from modern facilities on a modern fleet of aircraft, state-of-the-art aircraft simulators and operate from three training bases in South Africa.


She has surpassed the big 1500 hours flying milestone, trailblazing in a male dominated industry. Palesa is also pursuing a BSc in Agriculture.


Being a pilot has been a lifelong dream for Palesa , her mother often tells her she knew her calling when she was 5 years old. This was cemented when she was 7 years old when she saw the Boeing 737 taking off for the first time. Her grandmother then made it her mission to remind her of this dream and made every effort to seek out anything that would bring her closer to realising it, be it airshows or getting her information about aviation. For this reason Palesa is passionate about sharing her experiences with the younger generation, particularly from underprivilledged backgrounds about aviation. Words cannot express the joy she feels when she hears the sound of a Rolls Royce Trent engine or a SAAB jas 39 Gripen. This Alpha Female loves to fly!!!


When she isn't flying high, she enjoys hiking, movies, adventure and travelling. This pilot also has a blog where she journals her experiences and provides guidelines on being a successful pilot.



Palesa is definitely an #AlphaFemale for pursuing her dreams relentlessly, breaking the ceiling and reaching for the sky literally.
