Private Pilot Training
Training is conducted on our well-maintained fleet by highly experienced instructors, with a minimum requirement of 40 flying hours, combining dual instruction and supervised solo flight. Alongside your practical training, you’ll complete essential theoretical subjects including Air Law, Navigation, Meteorology, and Human Performance, all supported by our dedicated ground school.
To qualify, you’ll need to hold a Class 2 medical certificate and successfully complete a skills test with an examiner.
With over 50 years of training experience and excellent on-site facilities, Stapleford offers a professional yet welcoming environment – preparing you not just to pass your test, but to become a safe and confident private pilot.
