What Can I Expect

Calling all Londoners: prepare to take off on a flying lesson in London! We are offering vouchers for 30 and 60-minute lessons in two and four-seater aircraft at what is the closest General Aviation airfield to London at Elstree.

Just 10 minutes from North London, well within the M25 and with easy access by public transport too, our flying school is based out of Elstree aerodrome in Hertfordshire. It really is the most convenient airfield for aspiring pilots in the capital and around the home counties too.

Staff and instructors at Elstree are super passionate and dedicated, with many interesting flying background stories to tell. There are ex-military fast jet pilots, commercial airline pilots, aviation consultants and examiners on the roster. All this means you're in safe hands!

The planes hangared at this vibrant flight training club near London are the two seater Cessna 152 and four seater Piper PA28. The configuration inside the cockpit is side by side and all training planes are dual-controlled, so you get to fly the plane.

Indeed, both aircraft are renowned as being the best training light aircraft for flying lessons. London is obviously a pretty busy place when it comes to airspace and although this airfield is very near to London's city centre, it's far enough away to enjoy fewer restrictions. That means you maximise your flying time, rather than sitting in a take off queue on the runway.

If you’re in the Home Counties or the London area, flying lessons out of Elstree Aerodrome are a fantastic way to get airborne so close to the capital!
