If you’re a London dweller who is keen to learn how to fly, why not try one of our lessons departing from Elstree Aerodrome, the closest flight school to London. Located just 10 minutes from North London and just off the M25 it’s one of the more convenient airfields to locate. Full of experienced instructors who are ex military, commercial airline pilots or even examiners, it’s safe to say you will be in the best hands to learn how to fly. Although you will have the opportunity to get to grips with all the basic controls, there’s no need to worry as all our planes are dual controlled and there will be no prospects of hot seating in the air above the city skyline. Not only will you be gaining so much knowledge from this experience, but have a unique opportunity to view the outer London skyline from the air. Rest assured, in this flight although you are close to London you’re far enough away that you won’t get held up in air traffic congestion. So, why not strap yourself in for the experience of a lifetime as you learn how to pilot the skies as you drink in the sights of the capital from the air.
