What Can I Expect

Reach for the skies with this range flying lessons out of Shoreham Airport! We are offering vouchers for 30, 40 and 60-minute flights in two and four seater aircraft out of this popular airfield just outside Brighton.

Flying out of Shoreham is really rather special. Lancing College and the South Downs act as your stunning backdrop. This historic airport is in Shoreham by Sea right on the edge of the glorious West Sussex coastline.

Also known as Brighton City Airport, Shoreham is just seven miles from the popular seaside town. It's a great choice for these flying lessons, as you get the double whammy of views and great tuition!

Lesson flights are offered all year round at Shoreham. Operated using two or four-seater Piper Aircraft, you will be sitting up front beside your instructor. All aircraft have dual controls, so you will have plenty of hands-on time flying the plane.

If you opt for the four seater experience, a family member or friend can take up the back seat to enjoy your aerial fun with you and watch your lesson progress (subject to pilot approval).

Whilst aspiring pilots are airborne over West Sussex during their Shoreham Airport flying lessons, spectators on the ground can make the most of the excellent facilities around the school, including a visitor centre, restaurant and cafe bar, boasting excellent views of the main tarmac and two grass runways.
