Where To Start

The easiest way is to book a trial lesson (see the TRIAL LESSON/GIFT VOUCHER page). This is the starting point for most flying careers. It gives you the opportunity to experience the excitement of flying and actually take control of an aircraft without obligation or commitment. If you decide to continue with a PPL course, this introductory session will count towards your course total.

What Happens Next?

If you feel that flying is for you and you wish to move to the next stage, discuss the course with an instructor to fully understand the financial commitment and the demands on your time. Then, before spending any money, visit an approved medical examiner (list provided by the Club) to make sure there are no medical reasons to prevent you from holding a pilot's licence. Armed with a medical certificate, you can now plan your flying training. Do remember that ground school and examinations are part of the course and that continuity will save you money.

Who To Call?

Chief Flying Instructor - Gerry Honey on 01953 861337- will be pleased to process your application to join the Club and fit you into the training programme.
