Private Pilot’s Licence
The Private Pilots Licence (PPL) is a licence of an internationally recognised standard and allows you to add more additional ratings than the Light Aircraft Pilots Licence (LAPL). It requires a minimum of 45 hours training. The PPL is a good place to start if you wish to advance to Commercial or more advanced flying than LAPL allows. You can train for your PPL on the Cessna 172 or the Cub

Light Aircraft Pilot’s Licence
The Light Aircraft Pilot’s Licence (LAPL) requires a minimum of 30 hours training, with less rigorous medical standards than the PPL. It is valid within Europe for aircraft under 2,000kg and a maximum of three passengers. This is the ideal licence for the leisure pilot, but can easily be upgraded to a PPL by undertaking the additional training. You can train for your LAPL on the Cessna 172 or the Piper Super Cub.

Go Solo
If you are unsure about tackling a full course to gain a Pilot’s Licence, our ‘Go solo’ course, consisting of 15 hours training in one of our Cessna 172s or the Piper Super Cub. Depending on your frequency of flying and ability it might be enough to get you to your first solo flight. If you wish at that point, you could continue your training towards a Light Aircraft Pilot's Licence or Private Pilot's Licence.

Flight Instructor Course
The Flight Instructor Course will take you back to the exercises covered in your own PPL, and look at them in a fresh way as you learn how to impart your flying skills, knowledge and airmanship to the next generation of pilots. We can also teach the Class Rating Instructor (CRI) course. For qualified Instructors, we can provide the training required for removal of your ‘no applied instrument’ and ‘no night training’ restrictions.
Courses for qualified pilots
From Tailwheel conversion and farm strip courses to gaining qualifications including Night Rating, Instrument Rating (Restricted) and the Flight Instructor Course FI(A). Goodwood Flying School has everything that you need to continue your learning and develop your flying knowledge further.
Courses for non pilots
Do you have a fear or flying and want to overcome it? Getting a better understanding of what is involved and taking it slowly can help you become more comfortable and this can be achieved with our Fear of Flying course. Plus, if you feel like taking it a step further, our companion course can introduce you to the early stages of flying.
