What Can I Expect
Flying lessons in Staffordshire operating out of the busy little Tatenhill Airfield close to Burton upon Trent and offering easy access from all over the Midlands!
This Tatenhill-based flying school started out back in 1987 as a CAA approved light aircraft maintenance provider, before expanding to include a flight school, avionics design and installation.
Now with six fully qualified and highly experienced pilot instructors on board and a fleet of aircraft ready to be flown, these 30 and 60 minute flights can be taken in either a Cessna 152 with two seats, or a Piper Archer with four seats, as you head over the countryside of Stafford and Stoke on your lesson.
All experiences flying out of Tatenhill include a pre-flight briefing, being shown around the plane and the controls and, once taken off and flying, you will get the opportunity to take the controls and fly the aircraft straight and level.
This means you actually get to tackle one of the essential elements of flying on these introductory lessons, so if you do decide to carry on, the time spent on this experience counts towards your Private Pilots Licence.
Tatenhill near Burton on Trent is a great pick for flying lessons in Staffordshire, the ex-RAF base has good infrastructure including asphalt runways, the Flight Deck cafe and all the engineering and maintenance facilities a keen aviator could need!
