Why choose Solent School of Flying?
- Modern aircraft in good condition. Fully serviced to schedule, well above any minimum requirement.
- Our team are career instructors, not pilots building up their own hours
- A genuine commitment to quality instruction
- Location—Bournemouth is one of the few airports that allows training in Class D airspace. You’ll get better experience at this busy airport. This is a challenge, not a worry! You’ll win the confidence to fly across the UK—something you won’t get if you are learning from a grass airfield.
- Honest value for money, we won’t spring any hidden extras such as landing fees at our home airfield.
- Clear pricing: In line with Trading Standards requirements, we always show prices including Vat, as well as the ex Vat price. So no nasty surprises when you pay our bill.
- Our £10 million cover liability insurance is with Lloyds of London
- PPL training includes temporary membership of the Bourne2fly Club, a friendly ‘mess’ environment where flying is spoken. OK, it’s friendly and a mess, but we are informal folks here. Click here for more information
16,000 Britons hold a private pilot’s licence (PPL). What’s the buzz?
- ‘Flying is such an out-of-this-world experience’
- ‘It really keeps you disciplined, the right way is the only way’
- ‘It demands real focus’
- ‘I’ve done fast cars and motorcycles: This beats all.’
- ‘Getting a PPL was a real challenge—but what a sense of achievement’
- ‘It’s liberation, exhilaration and freedom’
- ‘Sharing airspace with the big jets, that was my dream’
- ‘Better than horizontal jogging’
- ‘Ever since I was a child, I’ve seen myself in the left hand seat’
- ‘It’s the way my passenger groans when I say: “This is your captain speaking…” Never fails!
And about helicopters…
- What do you do to prove yourself to yourself? Flying fixed wing is child’s play compared to this.
- Control, control, control. That’s what it’s about.
- Know that game where you rub your tummy and head, both in different directions? Yup, you can do it, but you’ve really got to try.
