city.
Drop in for a coffee and chat. Gerry Honey, our CFI, will be happy to discuss
your flying future with you.
The club provides a small, friendly and flexible flying school which
prides itself in having a professional but relaxed approach to aviation.
It is staffed by highly experienced instructors with both military and
civil backgrounds who, over the years, have had a high success rate in
helping pilots gain their licences.

The airfield is ideally placed for flying training being well away from the kind of controlled airspace used by commercial flights. The open skies of Norfolk are perfect for recreational flying and any user of an airfield like this, which is totally devoted to recreation, can be confident that their training and pleasure flying can progress unhindered. Fuel and engineering is available on site. In addition, sharing the club-house, is an operations/control room and a cosy restaurant.
The following courses are available at the moment:-
PPL JAR - PPL NPPL - IMC RATING - NIGHT RATING - SAFETY PILOT COURSE - GROUND SCHOOL TUITION AND TESTS
Please check the TRAINING page for details.

We also specialise in trial lessons designed to give an introduction to flying including hands-on experience. In addition we can offer the rare chance to actually fly a WWll vintage biplane. Not only is this something truly different for most qualified pilots but is an unforgettable experience for those who would just like to try it once. These flights make unusual and exciting presents.
Details are on the EXPERIENCE page.
