Why we're different

Almost everything is the same for existing students!

The new team are working to be more hands-on at the school, so if you see new faces, feel free to stop and chat- we’d love to get to know everyone personally to keep our community close.

We want to welcome you and be there for you every step of your flying journey, whether that’s easing the nerves before your TIF or greeting you at the hangar before a private hire.

We want our community to feel as comfortable flying as possible, so if there’s ever anything we can do to help, we will!

We also have big plans for the future, so keep an eye on our newsletters which will be up and running very soon.

We look forward to seeing you on the ground and in the skies!
