What Can I Expect
Flying lessons in Oxford from London Oxford Airport! Buy a voucher for a 30 or 60-minute lesson out of this renowned business airport at Kidlington, just north of Oxford city centre.
There are a lot of aviation-focussed companies based here and the airport is within the catchment area of many UK motorsport teams and close to London, so there are often a lot of business jet movements.
Facilities at Oxford Kidlington Airport are really good. The control tower and terminal building dominates the airport and the Aviation Station Cafe next door keeps hungry pilots fed and watered. This pilot training school has an enviable position right near the large, curved apron.
The team of experienced instructors is headed up by Chief Flying Instructor Tom Saunders. He firmly believes in quality teaching for all when he says: ‘My goal is to support recreational general aviation through high quality training and a relaxed, community atmosphere.’
That’s why this school has invested in an impressive fleet of wholly-owned aircraft (currently standing at around 15!), which includes Piper Warriors, Cherokees, the M600 and Tecnam aircraft too.
You will be flying in either a two or four-seater plane for your lesson, according to availability and flight planning on the day. Friends and family will be able to watch you take off from the clubhouse, which offers superb views out across the apron to the runway.
All trial flights out of Oxford Airport are treated as actual flying lessons, so you will have plenty of time to take the controls (if you want to!) and get a taste of what it’s like to actually fly one of these light aircraft out of a bustling, well-located airport.
