For those who can already fly as well as for those who get "hooked" on it, there are a variety of flying qualifications available from the private pilot's licence to night flying, IMC, multi-engine and more (have a look at the rest of this site for more details).

Whatever type of event you're planning, the basis of it is ...

The Introductory Training Flight

Ranging from between 20 minutes and 1 hour of actual flying time, the Introductory Training Flight introduces you to flying an aircraft for the first time (or your first time with us).
What's included in an Introductory Training Flight? How long does each flight actually last and how much does it cost?
You can choose from 4 flight times:
  • 20 minutes at £44.00
  • 30 minutes at £66.00
  • 40 minutes at £88.00
  • 60 minutes at £124.00
When you book, don't forget the times stated are actual flying times and you'll need to allow an extra 30 minutes or so for the briefings.

What to do now
If the flight is a gift

Call us on 01487 834161 to order your voucher or send a cheque made payable to Aerolease Ltd to:

Gavin Forrest
Flying Club Conington
Peterborough Business Airfield
Holme
Peterborough PE7 3PX
To make it clear which flight you are booking, please click here to fill in and print off a form to send with your cheque.

We'll then send you a flight voucher which is in the form of a small card (approximately A6 sized / 10cm width x 14cm height) with space for you to write the name of the person you're giving the gift to, as well as who it is from.

The voucher is valid for a full 6 months, so you can either book a particular day and time yourself, or leave it to the person receiving the gift to choose when they would like to fly.

For an additional £4.99, we'll also send you "The Introductory Flying Lesson", a 61 page book all about flying for the first time. If you'd like this book, please let us know when you call or send your payment. You'll also find a selection of gifts such as t-shirts at the club, and you're welcome to call in at any time to see what there is and to look round the facilities.

"Celebration Courses"
We have developed some special packages called "Celebration Courses" for those who don't want to do a complete training course but want something more than just a trial lesson or experience flight. 
Click Here for details - this is a PDF file and you will need Acrobat Reader. If you don't already have it, you can download it free.

Corporate and group outings

Each group booking is very individual so rather than specify a particular format, we'd ask you to call Gavin Forrest, Chief Flying Instructor, to discuss the possibilities for your event. You can reach him on 01487 834161 from Tuesday to Saturday but you're welcome to call in any day of the week when the other members of the team will be pleased to chat with you.

Flying is a thoroughly enjoyable social occasion
