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!

Take off on your airway to success with these Flying Lessons from Sheffield Doncaster Airport! Whether your only previous experience of flying is on a big commercial airliner or you're already a keen follower of aviation these trial fights give you a real insight to what it's like to be captain of your own aeroplane. With its official name of Robin Hood Doncaster Sheffield Airport (IATA code DSA) this is a great place to take your first lessons as you'll be flying from the UK's newest purpose built International Airport. Small enough to still be convenient & friendly but big enough to have really good facilities you will be a guest at the airport's on site flight training school. The club is located right by the main terminal building so you can really immerse yourself in the aeronautical world as the big jets taxi right by you for take off. 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. As you're in communication with Air Traffic Control to secure a slot you'll taxi to the runway. There's only one of them here at the Sheffield & Doncaster Airport but it is immense at 2893m long & 60m wide
- flying lessons here are positively oversized! Don't be surprised then if you find yourself waiting for a Boeing or an Airbus to come in before you head out
- it's all part of the fun & we think it really adds to the atmosphere of these lessons as you sit in your little aeroplane taking it all in. Talking of aircraft this Sheffield flying school uses Cessnas & Pipers for their trial lessons & flight training both simple robust & easy for you to have a go at flying. If you opt for the four seater Piper PA28 for your flying lessons out of Sheffield you are welcome to invite a passenger to enjoy the aerial thrills of flying over Doncaster & South Yorkshire as they join you for your lesson in the back seat of the plane. We think you'll find flying lessons at the bustling & bright Robin Hood Doncaster Sheffield International Airport aspiring & inspiring!
