Experience the thrill of flying in Northumberland against the most picturesque backdrop! Just a 40-minute drive north of Newcastle, our airfield at Athey's Moor offers 30-minute trial flights in light sports aircraft.
Athey's Moor, located just outside the charming village of Longframlington, provides a perfect rural setting surrounded by farms and parks. Yet, it's just a short flight away from the vibrant cities of Newcastle and Berwick.
Our flying school specialises in light sports aircraft, offering the comfort of a classic small plane with an enclosed glass cockpit and side-by-side seating. The fleet of trainer aircraft includes the popular high-wing CT32K by Flight Design and the sporty low-wing EuroStar, known for its impressive 1300km range.
During the 30-minute flight, you'll explore the local area, which is adorned with formal gardens, parklands, country houses, and a stunning coastline. Take off and fly to Warkworth, the gateway to the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
For a more immersive experience, opt for the two-hour flight and venture further afield to witness more of Northumberland's coastal and countryside beauty. These longer flights are perfect for combining in-depth teaching with sightseeing.
But remember, amidst the captivating views, you'll also have the chance to take the controls and experience the thrill of piloting the plane yourself!
