What Can I Expect
Flights from Teesside International Airport - spread your wings and head into the skies on a flying lesson over County Durham! Many budding pilots have been trained by Eden Flight Training to become confident pilots, who have gone on to join the RAF, fly commercially, or just enjoy flying light aircraft as a hobby.
Based at Teesside International Airport, which was formerly known as Durham Tees Valley airport, this friendly flying school offers flights in two seater aircraft and four seater aircraft. Training takes place throughout the year, so there is plenty of time to book in for your lesson.
The Senior Flying Instructor based at this Teesside International flying school is Captain Mark Lee. He's a working commercial pilot who drives those big jets, but he also absolutely loves taking newbies up for their first flying lessons. He's joined by the likes of Benjamin, Salvador, Melanie and Si who are all equally passionate when it comes to flying.
Indeed, not only is Eden the only CAA Approved Training Organisation (ATO) at Teesside International, it's also the only one in the whole of the North East, so you're going to be in very capable hands for your flight training. Patience, enthusiasm and putting the student at ease in the cockpit before their flight is a given here!
As for the planes, it'll be a two seater Piper Tomahawk or four seater Piper Warrior. Statistically, more pilots have passed their flight training exams in a Piper than any other model of plane. That's why the reliable, robust Pipers were chosen.
Before getting airborne on your training flight from Teesside International Airport you start on the ground with a safety briefing. Once the basic principles of flight and the controls have been explained to you, it's time to plan the route. Only then are you ready to head out onto the tarmac to enjoy your lesson flying over the picturesque county of Durham.
