There are precious few thrills quite like the first time you take the controls of a light aircraft. And many thousands of pilots have started their flying hobby or career with a trial lesson from Stapleford Flight Centre.
So, if you'd like to book a trial lesson for yourself, or even as a gift for 'someone special', call us on 01708 688380. Alternatively, why not buy a trial lesson online right now? (from our sister company, Flying Presents). What a great gift idea for Christmas, birthdays and corporate events!
All aviation gift vouchers are valid for one year from issue and are fully refundable at any time during that 12-month period (after one year the voucher is no longer refundable). Spectators are welcome to watch the take-off and landing. We offer a safe, fenced garden area next to our clubhouse. You will be sent a Flying Presents Gift Voucher which can be personalised by you. Stapleford Flight Centre is open seven days a week. However, we are extremely busy at weekends and so flights should ideally be booked at least three weeks in advance for these days.
Interested? Excited? Motivated? Still have some unanswered questions? Then why not call us on 01708 688380 today?

When requesting a clearance into the new Southend CAS, from April 2nd 2015, it would be advisable to quote the CTA number(s) that you want clearance into. Sadly the CTA numbers are not shown on the new 1:500,000 chart and so you will find this chart useful. We strongly suggest that you carry it with you when flying locally to help you ensure you get the clearance you want. If you have any questions or concerns please contact one of the instructors at Stapleford: 01708 688380.
