Northumbria Flying School has a rich heritage in the UK.

In 2010 we celebrated the 85th Birthday of Newcastle Aero Club, now Northumbria Flying School. We hope you enjoy reading the next few pages that are dedicated to preserving some of the glorious memories that have been made in the past decades. Drop in and see some of our historic images and memorabilia in our club house.

You can begin your pilot training with us with absolutely no previous experience. As a member of Northumbria Flying School you get unrivalled access to some of the very best instructors in the UK, all supervised by our Chief Flying Instructor who has over 15,000 flight training hours and more than 35 years flight training experience. They will guide you through the practical and theoretical aspects of the course until you become one of a growing number of people in the UK to possess their own pilots licence; a figure that currently stands at less than 1 in 2000.

A licence issued by the UK authority is the most respected in the world. If you choose to take your flying abroad, renting an aircraft becomes merely a formality, allowing you to make the most of your time.

One of the biggest factors in training is your aptitude and the speed at which you learn. It won't be news to hear that generally the younger you are and the more frequent your lessons, the quicker your progress will be. The average flight time for completion is roughly 50 hours.

Northumbria Flying School is the North's premier flying school. We offer a personal, friendly service which we believe to second to none. As a CAA Registered Facility we can provide all your training needs in an atmosphere of support and understanding.
