Welcome to the excitement and challenge of flight training. We specialise in the training of people with a range of disabilities to obtain their Private Pilots Licence, National Private Pilots Licence, and beyond, or you just want to have some fun.
Learning to fly is not just for the able-bodied or for the wealthy. Flying opens up new employment opportunities for disabled people. In the air, everyone is equal. Learning to fly is a way to change people’s lives, build confidence and re-ignite self-belief.
Our vision is to create the opportunity for people with lower limb disabilities to learn to fly. The aim is to enable all disabled pilots to achieve a Private Pilots License (PPL) through progressive and professional instruction. The Freedom hand control will be the first of its kind – a milestone in pioneering aviation for disabled people. Indeed, since it began working on this project, Cranfield University is now teaching all its MSc Aerospace engineering students to design cockpits that can accommodate both able bodied and disabled pilots for the next generation of commercial aeroplanes.
