Get your wings with our selection of flying lessons! If you've ever dreamed of being a pilot or just want to have a go at the controls an aeroplane, you've come to the right place. Lessons in how to fly are a big part of our heritage, as we are the sister company to the people who were behind the world-famous Biggin Hill Airshows.
With that sort of pedigree, it's no wonder we can boast one of the biggest and best value ranges of pilot schools the length and breadth of the UK.
You will be taking to the air in a modern light aircraft from a fully CAA registered flight school or training centre. Many use two seater aircraft such as the Cessna 152, whilst the most popular four-seater is the Piper Archer. Lessons in aircraft with four seats cost more, but it does mean you can usually invite someone to join you as a back seat passenger for your flight.

Flying has been happening here since 1933, when a group of pilots got together to fly their Tiger Moths from the fields. After a brief stint as an RAF base, civil aviation has been at Netherthorpe since 1961 when the first Sheffield aero club arrived.
All pilots hosting lessons out of Netherthorpe are fully CAA accredited with thousands of flying hours. The team is really friendly and welcoming, with the aim of giving you a flying lesson to remember and yes, you'll get a chance to actually fly the aircraft yourself! A ground briefing before your flight will explain how your lesson will pan out and the basic controls of the aircraft. Then it's time to head out to the plane, which will be a 2-seater light sports aircraft.

A glorious setting for two-seater helicopter lessons in Sussex, departing from Brighton City Airport, with the southern coastline and the South Downs National Park right on your flight path. Your pilot instructor will show you around the two seater Schweizer S300 helicopter that'll be used for your lesson. Stable and easy to fly, the Schweizer boasts a larger-than-average cabin, with exceptional visibility too.

Thrilling four-seater helicopter lessons out of Brighton Airport! The big advantage of being in a four-seater chopper for your lesson is the fact that (subject to pilot approval and weight limits) you can invite one or two people to accompany you as rear-seat observers for the flight.
And it’s going to be a wonderful flight. Brighton Airport is so well-placed right by the coastline, that you are all going to be treated to great views of the sea, the beaches and landmarks from the air. And then there's the history. You might know this place as Shoreham Airfield, or even as Brighton Hove and Worthing Municipal Airport, as it was first named when it opened in 1936. Built in magnificent Art Deco style, look out for the now Grade II listed terminal building when you rise into the air in your chopper!
