Overview
Experience the thrill of flying with a fun and relaxed flying lesson at Tatenhill Airfield in Staffordshire. Conveniently located with easy access from across the Midlands and just a short drive from Burton upon Trent, this airfield has been welcoming flying enthusiasts since 1987. It's not just a flying school but also a CAA-approved light aircraft maintenance provider, making it a great place to take your first steps into the world of aviation. The airfield is home to six friendly, fully qualified pilot instructors and a fleet of well-maintained aircraft. You'll be flying in the iconic Piper Archer, a four-seater aircraft that's known for being easy to handle—perfect for beginners. Plus, if you want to share the experience, you might even be able to bring a guest along to watch your lesson from the back seat! Your session kicks off with a straightforward pre-flight briefing to get you comfortable with what to expect. Then, you'll be introduced to the aircraft and its controls. Once you're up in the air, your pilot will handle the takeoff and landing, but once you’re cruising at level flight, it’s your turn to take the controls. You’ll be soaring over the Staffordshire countryside, feeling the freedom of the open skies. And if you find yourself hooked on flying, you’re in luck—your flight time can actually count towards a Private Pilot’s Licence (PPL). So why not give it a go? Book your lesson today and get ready for an awesome day out in the skies!

Purchased the experience for our son for his GCSE results. He has an ambition to be a pilot and at the end of the day was smiling from ear to ear.Very well run and experience with some genuinely nice people involved in it all.Highly recommended.
Lisa Totton

Graham Kemsley
I had a great time I would recommend it to anyone next time I would go up for a hour flight the instructor was brilliant It gave me a buzz
Carol Middleton
I cannot praise the team at the airfield enough for providing a superb 60 minute flying experience Everyone was brilliant, even when I had to change my planned date to attend a funeral. I had the biggest smile on my face before, during and after the flight. My instructor, Ryk, was very informative. As soon as he had taken off I was quickly taught how to steer the plane up, down, left and right and how to keep it level, which I was allowed to do throughout the rest of the flight while Ryk continued to support the rest of the process In fact, I enjoyed the experience so much that I have decided to begin lessons with the intention of gaining a private pilot licence.
Ian Lyon
Excellent experience with professional tuition.
Stephen Maskrey
Thoroughly enjoyed the experience from arrival at Tatenhill Airfield. The staff were so friendly and did everything in their capacity to put me at ease. My pilot for the day Dave was waiting for me in reception and was fantastic through out the take off prep and the actual flight He was keen to show me how well aircraft responded and how easy it was to fly. He also made sure that I had a good view of particular landmarks during the flight. After landing he provided me with further information on future flights but was not pushy at all. Will definitely be doing it again soon.

I had a thoroughly enjoyable day and my pilot made me feel comfortable and at ease. His instruction meant I got to fly the Cessna 152 for 50 mins of the 60 min booking. I had never flown before and hope to book again when funds permit

I had a lovely day flying at Tatenhill. It was a great introduction to flying. The instructor was lovely and explained everything to me in a way that I could understand. My fianc was able to join me on the day and watch the lesson from afar in the lovely newly renovated caf. I was so engrossed in the experience I only took one photo from inside the plane right at the end just after we has landed. Brilliant experience would definitely recommend.
