Our Fleet

Our training fleet comprises a range of aircraft types including Cessna 152s, Tecnam P2008s, Piper PA28 Warriors, Piper PA28R Arrows, Diamond DA42 Twin Stars, and a Slingsby Firefly.

Primary flight training is conducted in the Cessna 152. This two-seat aircraft is widely regarded as an excellent primary trainer due to its ease of handling and reliability. Piper PA28 Warriors and Tecnam P2008s are also available for instruction and hire.

Advanced flight training is conducted in PA28 Warriors and PA28R Arrows. These are four-seat single-engine aircraft, with the Arrow featuring retractable undercarriage and a variable-pitch propeller.

Instrument training is conducted in the Diamond DA42 Twin Star. This four-seat twin-engine aircraft is equipped with a modern glass cockpit and FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) and is approved for flight in icing conditions, making it well suited to instrument training.

Our fleet is maintained to a very high standard by our own approved Aircraft Maintenance Organisation.

Tecnam P2008JC

The Tecnam P2008JC has been a new addition to our fleet since its introduction in late 2014. With a cruising speed of 116 knots, this modern high-wing, two-seater training aircraft features a sleek carbon-fibre fuselage, metal wings, and stabilator. Powered by a Rotax 912 piston engine and equipped with a fixed tricycle undercarriage, it remains a favourite among our PPL students.

Cessna 152

The Cessna 152 has long been a reliable choice for flight training schools worldwide. Its rugged design allows for stable operations, even on rough surfaces, making it the ideal aircraft to start your aviation career. Known for its ease of handling, it provides a solid foundation for new pilots.

Piper PA28 Warrior

The Piper PA28 Warrior is a versatile 4-seater that combines stability and reliability, making it a trusted workhorse in aviation training. Slightly heavier and faster than the Cessna 152, its spacious interior accommodates larger or taller students. With low-wing design, it offers excellent visibility for aspiring pilots.

Piper PA28R Arrow

The Piper Arrow stands out as the only complex single-engine trainer currently in production. Retaining familiar controls and handling characteristics of other Piper trainers, it allows for a seamless transition to more complex aircraft. Its retractable undercarriage and variable-pitch propeller make it essential for advanced CPL training and single-engine IR courses.

DA42 Diamond Twinstar

The DA42 Diamond Twinstar exemplifies 21st-century aviation with its state-of-the-art glass cockpit technology. Featuring efficient low-emission engines and sophisticated cockpit instrumentation, it ensures an effortless flying experience. This aircraft is extensively used in our IR training programs.

T67 M260 Slingsby Firefly

For the adventurous pilot, the T67 Slingsby Firefly is a fully aerobatic military trainer capable of exceeding 200 mph. With the ability to perform aerobatic manoeuvres, barrel rolls, and inverted flight, it’s a thrilling option for students enrolled in our Aerobatic Course.
