What Can I Expect
A full range of flying lessons at this North Weald flight training school! We are offering vouchers for 30 and 60-minute trial flights in both two and four-seater aircraft out of this popular airfield in Essex.
This flying school is the only CAA Approved Training Organisation operating out of North Weald, so you'll be in good hands for your flight. What's more, it's a fantastic location.
Well-placed in the North Weald Bassett area of Essex, this airfield is steeped in aviation history. In fact, the whole aerodrome is Grade II listed, with one of the hangars dating right back to 1927 and the Officer's Mess still standing.
Flying began in 1916 and North Weald was at the frontline of the Battle of Britain. Home to squadrons from a multitude of allied countries, the RAF finally moved out in 1964. But that didn't spell the end of flying at North Weald. Far from it.
General Aviation quite literally took off and even today you might well encounter resident warbirds during your lesson. Don't be surprised if you taxi past a Kittyhawk, or give way to a Spitfire coming in to land. And there's the fascinating North Weald Museum on-site too.
With both concrete and grass runways, the flight training school can operate in all seasons at North Weald, flying 362 years of the year, seven days a week. That’s why there is a dedicated instruction and operational team working year round at North Weald to train up budding pilots.
For your flying lesson out of North Weald, it's all about an introduction to the wonders of flying over the Weald. Lessons are carried out as though they were the first in your pilot flight training programme, including a full explanation of the aircraft and instrumentation in your pre-flight ground briefing.
