Looking for flying lessons in Aberdeen? Book your trial flight at this training school at Longside Airfield & get all the benefits of a smaller airfield without the controlled air space & on ground delays when flying out of an international airport! Longside Airfield is just a quick dash up the A90 from Aberdeen. Situated a few miles inland from Peterhead the aerodrome was operational as RAF Peterhead between 1941 & 1945. At its peak nearly 3000 personnel were on site & the Aberdeenshire skies were filled with the sound of Hurricanes Spitfires & Mustangs. Today you can still see a few vestiges of Longside's RAF past with pillboxes clearly visible from the air despite most of the land being returned to agricultural use. You'll also notice that Longside still has a tarmac runway
- quite a rarity in North East Scotland! Now operated as a small & friendly facility this airfield which is easily accessible from Aberdeen is a great place to learn to fly. Your CAA flight instructor/examiner is Bill Anderson who has flown pretty much every type of aircraft going working for the RAF & as a commercial pilot too. All those many of years of experience mean that Bill is a super experienced instructor who knows just how to get the best out of the plane & you on these trial lessons. You'll be flying in this Aberdeenshire school's Piper PA28 Warrior II. As Bill himself says these light aircraft are 'simple stable & dependable' making them ideal trainers with a formidable cross country performance too. They're a delight to fly & at some point during your flight you will get to find out for yourself as you take the controls. As you can imagine from the location of Longside Airfield you'll be treated to amazing views over Peterhead & the coast throughout your lesson. & of course the longer the flight duration the further you fly over Aberdeen & beyond on your lesson. What's more for a small fee payable locally (and at the pilot's discretion) you can invite up to two friends or family members to join you in the plane as interested observers. A lovely plane stunning views a friendly instructor uncontrolled airspace & lots of aviation history combine to make these flying lessons in Aberdeenshire the perfect choice for Scottish aviation fans. Book your 30 45 or 90-minute lesson online & get flying!

Here's a full roster of flying lessons in Bedfordshire for you! Taking off from Sackville Farm Airfield just north of Bedford in an ultra light aircraft you can stay local fly away or land away
- the choice is yours. This Bedfordshire flying school prides itself of offering bespoke training & air experiences. For those seeking their first taste of flying in a light aircraft we have the 20 & 60 minute flight vouchers. Those times include a pre-flight briefing in the ground school classroom so you can meet your instructor & discuss what will be happening on your flight experience. Heading up this Bedfordshire team is the highly experienced Adrian Williams. He's flown twin single & ultra light aircraft for several decades & in pretty much every corner of the globe. He absolutely loves flying light sport aircraft. & as he says nothing can beat the Flight Design CT2K for its agility visibility high cruise speed & long flight range. You can fly 1 000 miles non stop in one these things which means you could depart from Sackville & easily fly to the continent without having to refuel. That's why the two hour & half day flying lesson experiences at this Bedfordshire school are highly recommended. For those on the two-hour flights you will sit down & discuss with Adrian to work out where you'd like to go. It might be that you've always fancied flying over your house or you'd love to look down on historic Old Warden or maybe even head as far afield as Leicester Nottingham or across to Enstone. Spending a half day with the Sackville Farm Airfield team gives you a 'land away' experience which is where you depart Sackville to fly & land at another airfield. There's always time to stop off at the aerodrome cafe for a cuppa before heading back to base. You & your pilot instructor will come up with a plan together. Many who go on a Bedfordshire flight experience choose to go somewhere like Duxford or Kemble where entrance to the museums on site there can be included for you which we think is a really nice touch. & don't forget these are flying lessons in Bedfordshire so opportunities hands-on flying in the Flight Design ultra light is maximised giving you plenty of time to marvel at yourself being the one actually flying the aircraft. Of course if you prefer to take in the views & take pictures instead they'll be the ones doing the flying while you do the snapping!

Feel the wind beneath your wings on these Earls Colne airfield lessons in a light aircraft! A good range of lesson types & durations are offered at this very well-kept flying club on the edge of the lovely Earls Colne Golf & Country Club estate. For a small aeroclub nestled between the quaint little villages of Earls Colne & Coggeshall this club is big on runways having not one but two grass & tarmac strips. This is because Earls Colne was purpose-built in the 1940s as a World War II bomber base airfield first welcoming the USAAF & then the RAF. When it was sold off in 1955 the land returned to a mix of agriculture offices & the fun business of flying. Visitors who fly in to Earls Colne often comment on how well-maintained the whole airfield is with recent investment in 2011 providing new hangars pilot briefing rooms & more space for the Essex Air Ambulance that is also based at this easy to get to aerodrome just north of Colchester. Led by Mick Manders there is a good-sized team of flying instructors & dedicated ground staff at Earls Colne so you will be able to take lessons flying out of the airfield on weekdays or weekends throughout the year. Planes owned & operated include Cessnas Robins Rockwell Commuter an Alpha 120T & a TB10
- all much renowned in flying circles as they are robust easy & thrilling to fly whether it's your first time or you're a seasoned pilot. So it's chocks aways at Earls Colne Airfield with lessons for all abilities & ages (the youngest a flyer can be is 14). All lessons include the opportunity for you to take control of the aircraft as you zoom over the rather lovely golf club & the likes of Deer Park Lily & Marshall Woods. What's more the airfield is free of controlled airspace so you will be the King or Queen of the skies on these taster lessons from Earls Colne!

After a warm welcome from the friendly flying team here at this Sheffield school lessons commence with a briefing on the ground. This is the moment you'll be asked what you hope to achieve from your airtime so now's the time to say if you have a particular flight path in mind. Flight planned you'll head out to the trainer plane sitting on the apron. As with all aerial sorties you will do a 'walk around' of the aircraft with your pilot instructor before hopping in to the cockpit. Now this is where the excitement really starts to build.
