FROM OUR STUDENTS

Trusted by students preparing to fly

★★★★★
"The practice exams were a game changer. Every attempt pulled different questions, so I was never just memorising the answers — I actually understood the subject by the time I sat the real thing."
James T. — PPL(A) Air Law, passed 92%
★★★★★
"The online ground school via Teams was brilliant — I could join from home on a Monday evening and get direct answers to questions I'd been stuck on. Far better than trying to learn from a textbook alone."
Aisha K. — NPPL Theory, all subjects passed
★★★★★
"I'd failed Meteorology twice before finding this. The explanation in the answer review finally made the METAR format click, and I passed with 82% on my next attempt."
Sarah M. — PPL Meteorology, third attempt pass
TRIAL LESSONS

Your first flight, with full controls handover

A trial lesson is a real flying lesson — not a sightseeing flight. Your instructor briefs you on the ground, then hands you the controls in the air for straight-and-level flight, turns, and (where conditions allow) climbing and descending.

Gift Vouchers Available

Buy a trial lesson as a gift voucher — valid for 12 months and redeemable against any trial lesson option.

Duration

30 or 60-minute flight options, plus ~30 minutes for briefing, paperwork and a post-flight debrief.

Aircraft

Flown in our Cessna 152 — a stable, forgiving two-seat training aircraft ideal for first flights.

Weather Policy

If weather prevents flying, your lesson is rescheduled free of charge — no time limit on rebooking.

What to Expect

Arrival briefing, aircraft walk-around, take-off by your instructor, then the controls are yours.

FLIGHT TRAINING

Structured training, built around your goals

Whether you're aiming for a full Private Pilot Licence, an NPPL, building hours, or returning to flying after a break — your training plan is mapped from day one and tracked on your dashboard.

PPL(A) — Private Pilot Licence

The most comprehensive route to flying privately, including night rating eligibility and the broadest set of privileges. A minimum of 40 hours flight instruction (35 hours if completed on an approved ATO course), including 10 hours supervised solo with at least 5 hours solo cross-country (one flight of at least 270km/150NM with full-stop landings at 2 other aerodromes). 9 CAA theory exams plus Radio Telephony (FRTOL) — 10 subjects in total, plus a skills test with an examiner. Minimum age 17, Part-MED Class 2 medical required. Theory exams are valid for 24 months.

Estimated hours: 40 hrs (35 hrs at an ATO)  |  From: £195/hr (1:1 flying)

NPPL — National Private Pilot Licence

Since 1 October 2025, the new NPPL has replaced both the old NPPL(A) and LAPL(A) as the standard UK-only sub-ICAO route into recreational flying. A minimum of 32 hours flight time including 10 hours solo (at least 4 hours solo cross-country, with a qualifying flight of 150km/80NM and a full-stop landing away from base). Exams cover 5 written subjects (Air Law, Human Performance, Meteorology, Navigation and Aircraft General Knowledge) plus Radio Telephony (FRTOL) if not already held — 6 subjects in total. Training can start from age 14, solo from 16, licence held from 17 — only a Pilot Medical Declaration is required. Note: valid for UK-registered aircraft in UK airspace only.

Estimated hours: 32+ hrs  |  From: £185/hr (1:1 flying)

Hour Building

Already licensed and need to build hours for a rating, job application, or insurance requirement? Book solo or dual hour-building flights with flexible scheduling, subject to currency and weather minima.

From: £165/hr

Refresher Training

For pilots returning after a break in flying. We'll assess your currency, refresh handling skills, airfield procedures and radio work, and get your licence privileges back up to date.

From: £195/hr
