What Can I Expect
Flying lessons near Chester out of Hawarden Airport! If you fancy having a go at flying a plane and you're in the area around Chester, North Wales and Liverpool, these 50-minute trial flights are the perfect choice for you.
Hawarden (which you might also know as Chester Airport) is right on the border of Wales and England. Technically it's in Flintshire, North Wales, yet just four-miles west of Chester. The prime location means you'll be treated to superb views of mountains, coastline and towns when you fly out of Hawarden.
These experiences are not just pleasure flights - you get to actually fly the plane yourself. Each flight is treated as an actual first lesson for a budding pilot and that means your time can be entered into your Pilot's Log.
On the 50-minute sessions you'll learn the basics and start having a go at straight and level flight, then hopefully some turns and perhaps progressing to more advanced techniques or moves, adding in some taxiing on the runway too.
Hawarden is a great place to learn about aviation. The airfield near Chester has a long and very distinguished history in aircraft construction, so if you're into your planes, you'll love this place. Vickers-Armstrong started the story building Wellingtons and Lancasters, followed by De Havilland from 1948, superseded by Hawker Siddeley and their jets in the 60s.
Today the imposing Broughton factory onsite manufactures Airbus wings, which are flown off site in the magnificent A300ST. If you're extremely lucky, you might see one of these 'Beluga' take off or land whilst you're at Hawarden Airport for your flying lesson in the Chester /North Wales skies!
