The Flying School at Wolverhampton Airport is an individual flight training establishment which prides itself on providing first class
training by our friendly and very experienced flying instructors, whilst still remaining small enough to care, and hopefully, provide a relaxing environment in which you are able to achieve your dream in gaining your Private Pilot’s Licence (members of our School have discounted prices).

A Guide to what is involved in gaining your Private Pilot’s Licence, (PPL).

Almost anyone can learn to fly so if you have been thinking about it for a while but not done anything about it, have a chat with our
instructors who will be only to happy to oblige and answer any
questions that you may have without obligation.

If you do decide to take the plunge there is no upper age limit to obtain a licence and you can begin to log training hours from the age of 14, you can also experience the thrill of your first solo flight at 16 years.  A person must be fit enough to pass a medical examination before being allowed to fly solo.

The best way to begin is to take a trial lesson of either a half or one hour’s tuition with one of our instructors who will show you around the aircraft, brief you on the various controls and tell you about the basics of flying, you will then be strapped in and given a safety briefing before taking off and enjoying the stunning views around the South Staffordshire and Shropshire countryside.  Under the personal guidance of your instructor you will take control and admire the scenery whilst piloting the aircraft.
