Flying at Biggin Hill

Biggin Hill Airport in Kent

Experiences Flash element
 

Biggin Hill airport in Kent is one of the most renowned airports in the world for learning to fly, offering a wide choice of lessons from many of the commercial pilots who've gained their licences there. Biggin Hill also boasts a proud heritage as the front line Battle of Britain RAF station during the second world war - a history remembered each year with the Biggin Hill International Airfair, organised by sister company to Into the Blue, Air Displays International.

Known these days for being an active commercial airfield at the gateway to London, being positioned just 12 miles south east of the capital, Biggin Hill makes for an exciting and action-packed airport to take your first steps in flying. We work with the longest established flying school on the site, with three full time and four part flying instructors, including a resident CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) examiner.

Whichever flight duration you choose (and these times are 'brakes off to brakes on'), you will have the chance to tackle flying 'straight and level' in either a Cessna 152 or the four seater Piper Warrior. If you choose the four seater plane option, you can invite a friend to join you as observer in the back seat, so they too can enjoy the views of the City, the O2 Arena and even the Dartford Crossing on clear sky days.

Experience Summary: After a welcome and introduction your instructor will talk you through the pre-flight checks. Once airborne you will have the chance to take the controls and fly the aircraft, either a 2 seater Cessna 152 or 4 seater PA28. Those choosing a 4 seater lesson can bring along a guest to observe the flight from the rear seat. After your flight you will be presented with a First Flight Certificate. More amazing flying lessons are available. 

Availability: Experiences are available weekdays and weekends throughout the year.

Location: This long running flying school is located in Biggin Hill, Kent with easy access from the M25. Your flight will offer stunning views across London and Kent. 

Requirements: There is a minimum age of 14 years old. Minimum height is 4'6", maximum 6'4" with a maximum weight of 14 stone for 2 seater flights and 18 stone for 4 seater flights. Passengers of the 4 seater flights are accepted at the pilots discretion on the day. Photographic ID will be requested on the day.

Spectators and Facilities: Spectators are welcome to attend and watch participants in flight with plenty of great photo opportunities. Participants of the 4 seater experiences are allowed to bring an interested observer who can enjoy the lesson from the rear seat. There are a number of pubs, restaurants and cafes nearby.
