Aeroplane Flying Lessons

Flying lessons are similar to driving lessons (forgetting the plane) - as such you need at least 45 hours of flight before you can attempt to get your Private Pilot's Licence (PPL).

We offer a variety of 'Taster' packages in 30 and 60 minute increments. These are a great way to get a taste of flying and see if it's for you before committing to obtaining a licence (which is required to be a professional pilot). You can also enjoy a one-time flight experience just for fun or even as a passenger. In any case, it's a fantastic day out.

Flying lessons and pilot training are provided by fully qualified and licenced flight instructors from approved training organisations such as the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority), who will be on hand to ensure your safety is a top priority at all times so you can focus on having the most fun possible.

Thanks to their years of experience, they will be able to provide anyone who is fortunate enough to receive one of our gift vouchers the opportunity to cross something off their bucket list or realise their dream of becoming a fully licenced pilot with extensive and priceless aviation knowledge.

With FlyDays, get started now on the path to earning your private pilot's licence or just getting some quality time in the air.

Important: We urge you to carefully review the itinerary for the vouchers you are looking at because some packages are not considered lessons and you will simply be a passenger touring rather than taking the wheel.

We provide a wide range of training programmes and flying lessons. These range from quick 15-minute taster sessions to longer, more difficult 30-minute classes. There are also our 60 Minute courses to try out if you wanted to spend a bit more time in the air during a session. Additionally, we provide training where flying time can be applied toward getting your private pilot's licence.

In the UK, we provide the broadest range of flight schools, training facilities, airfields, and aerodromes. A flying school is therefore closer to you than you would imagine, whether you're up in Scotland at Cumbernauld Airport or down in Cornwall at Bodmin Airfield.

The scale of our venues varies, ranging from family-owned companies or independently owned aero clubs to bigger commercial airports and flight schools. The majority of locations have access to a runway, whether it be grass or asphalt, and some additionally have other amenities such as hangars, maintenance areas, and refuelling stations.

Many of the airfields we mention on our website, like Eaglescott Airfield in Devon, provide a variety of flying classes in addition to experiences like vintage flying, microlighting, and gliding. Visit our dedicated Airfields page to learn more about what each airport/airfield has to offer.
