What Can I Expect

Go sky high with these flying lessons over Liverpool! We are offering 60-minute and half-day landaway trial flights in two and four seater Piper aircraft. You'll be taking off from Liverpool John Lennon Airport to soar over the iconic landmarks and navigate above the Mersey's gentle sweep out to sea and beyond.

This leading flight school is based out of its purpose-built Business Aviation Unit at the General and Business Aviation area of Liverpool's busy international airport. Surrounded by runways, control towers and a range of aeroplanes from light aircraft to transatlantic jets, it's the perfect place to get your piloting aspirations off the ground.

Each lesson with this Liverpool based flying school is taught by a highly trained instructor and you will be behind the controls of the plane for the majority of your time in the air. Even when the flying instructor takes the lead, you'll still be able to learn about and assist with pre-flight checks, taxiing down the runway and the final approach.

There's a fine fleet of aircraft that operate lessons out of this Liverpool school. You'll be taking to the skies in a Piper PA38 for two seater flights. If you choose a four seater experience, it'll be in a Piper PA28.

As well as being a hands-on flying lesson, there's no denying the views of Liverpool are awesome. You'll take in sights such as Liverpool and Everton's football stadia, the Liver Building, Radio City and the impressive docks flanking the River Mersey. If you live locally, there's even the possibility of flying over your own house!

If you're up for a proper aviation adventure, we highly recommend a landaway experience. You'll fly off to another airport (usually Caernarfon, Wolverhampton or Leeds East) and enjoy lunch over there, before flying back to your Liverpool base. You'll get loads more time in the air and be able to get involved with navigation too.

What's more, if any of these experiences gets you hooked, your inaugural flight counts towards your PPL (Private Pilot's License) if you choose to continue your tuition at Liverpool. And for the spectators watching from the tarmac apron, John Lennon Airport offers some great plane-spotting opportunities. Book your flying lessons in Liverpool and see for yourself if the airport's motto ‘Above us is only sky' is true!
