The first ten minutes involve a safety briefing and becoming familiarised with the aircraft. A pre-flight brief follows, before students head into the air for a 25-minute hands-on cruise at the controls. The final 20 minutes will be spent conducting post-flight checks, engaging in a feedback session and completing the de-brief.

A Robin HR200, which is a low-wing two-seater from New Zealand, or a parasol-winged Cessna 152 that has a top speed of 107 knots, are among our fleet.

A range of engineering services are also available, including body recovering and restoration. The school is also home to a fleet of rare aircraft including a vintage De Havilland Tiger Moth and an aerobatic Pitts Special biplane.
