Everything you need to know about Flying at Goodwood
You don't need to wear any special clothing but comfort is definitely the order of the day. We do recommend that trousers and flat shoes are worn. If you are flying in the Piper Super Cub we do ask everyone to wear shoes that will enable you to get a good ‘feel’ of the rudder pedals, therefore no heavy boots, we prefer trainers or deck shoes.
There are a selection of places to eat at Goodwood - and depending on the experience you are taking, some have a delicious lunch included. There is a cafe, currently based in the Old Control Tower at the Motor Circuit, which is a short walk from the Aerodrome. There is also the Bar & Grill, which is part of the Goodwood Hotel, which serves delicious lunches or the Farner Butcher Chef, again part of the hotel, which is open for dinner and also for Sunday lunches. Find out more.
You are very welcome to bring family and friends with you - but we ask that children are supervised at all times. In some of the experiences in our modern Cessnas a guest is included in the fight. However, as the Piper Super Cub and Harvard are two seater aircraft there is only room for you and your Flight Instructor.
Please take note of the instructions from your Flight Instructor and the Goodwood Flying School team as your safety is of paramount importance to us.
There are medical requirements which are not excessively stringent. Glasses can be worn and do not prevent a prospective pilot from flying, although you need to produce a six-month prescription and a spare pair of glasses. Our team can give you advice on your medicals.
