About the experience

Embark on an exhilarating journey with these fantastic 30-minute 4 seater flying lessons departing from North Weald airfield! This top-notch flying school is the real deal, boasting the coveted CAA Approved Training Organisation status and a team that's as friendly as they come. Tucked away in the scenic North Weald Bassett area of Essex, this airfield is steeped in history. Picture this: a Grade II listed aerodrome adorned with a sprawling hangar dating back to 1927, and the iconic Officer's Mess still standing tall. It's like stepping into a time capsule of aviation greatness! From its humble beginnings in 1916 to its pivotal role in the Battle of Britain, this place has seen it all. Fun fact: it was once buzzing with squadrons from various allied nations until the RAF bid farewell in 1964. Fast forward to today, and you've got yourself a buzzing hub of General Aviation where the skies are alive with the hum of aircraft. Keep your eyes peeled, because you might just catch a glimpse of some classic warbirds during your visit! With not one, not two, but three runways (two concrete and one grass), this flight training school operates year-round, rain or shine. Your adventure begins with a thorough pre-flight briefing followed by a hands-on introduction to the controls. Once you're up in the air, it's all on you, with expert guidance from your instructor every step of the way. It's like diving headfirst into your very own pilot flight training program, with the added thrill of soaring through the skies! So, what are you waiting for? Don't let this epic experience slip through your fingers – snag your voucher today and get ready to take flight!

What a brilliant experience Flew out of North Weald and was great to share the experience with my young daughter who got to sit in the cockpit with me before takeoff. Mark the pilot was great, and was fortunate with the weather to be able to see for miles Got some great pics of some important places to me and felt like we were up there for ages. A lifelong dream fulfilled Amazing day...thank you

CJ Smith
Absolutely loved the experience. They were running a little late due to fog but that just meant that we had time to have food drinks in the cafe. North Weald is a great location with so much going on was brilliant as my little boy could watch me taking off landing was even allowed to look at the planes sit in the cockpit etc which just made the whole day more special for us. The pilot was brilliant I was amazed at how long I actually got to fly the plane for. I highly recommend it. I was bought it as a present it was really different very special
