What Can I Expect
Book your flying lessons in Bournemouth over the beautiful coastline of Dorset and beyond! We have 30 and 60-minute lessons for you, all taken in modern, four-seater trainer aircraft that are owned, operated and maintained by this active flying centre.
Based at Aviation Park West on the large Bournemouth International Airport site, this flying school is unique in that it boasts its own refuelling facilities, which means fewer delays for you on the tarmac, as the turnaround is a lot faster.
Being a busy airport with lots of scheduled and charter air traffic, flying in Bournemouth means you'll be learning to fly in Class D airspace. That means it's full on, exciting and with lots to look at.
All flight path itineraries are pre-planned, although they may be subject to change due to the weather or air traffic control requests and regulations. Generally speaking, light aircraft take off and head towards the coast, before orienting towards Sandbanks and Poole harbour.
Depending on the length of lesson you'll be having, you will see some of the finest sights of Devon and Dorset from the amazing vantage point of the cockpit, several thousand feet above the ground.
The plane used is the PA28 Warrior II. This Piper is a low-winged, single piston-powered aeroplane that is easy to fly, which is why it is one of the most popular four seater trainers in the world.
Once you have reached level flight after take off, you'll be invited to take control - a thrilling 'first' moment that even the most seasoned of commercial pilots still fondly remember!
Book your 30 or 60-minute flying lesson out of Bournemouth and combine flight tuition and wonderful coastal views in one experience.
