    In memory of Rob Wildeboer

    On Tuesday 20th July, the Goodwood aviation community suffered a tragic loss with the passing of Rob Wildeboer, our Flying School Manager, after a sudden illness.

    To remember and honour Rob, in accordance with the wishes of his family, a number of scholarships will be offered annually through Goodwood Flying School, made possible by kind donations from the community.

    We're pleased to announce that applications are now open for 2023.

    Don't know where to start?

    Here at Goodwood Flying School, we offer a range of courses and training, all of which are tailored to your requirements. We can take you from your first flight to advanced courses for the qualified pilot.

    Cessna 172 Flight Simulator

    In early 2022, the Flying School introduced a new, purpose-built Cessna 172 simulator to the fleet. The feel and response of the controls have been fine-tuned to replicate our aircraft as closely as possible.

    This allows pilots to improve a pilot’s confidence and broaden their horizons by familiarising them with a wide range of situations, whilst developing essential non-technical skills.

    Learn to fly at Goodwood Flying School

    1. Private Pilot Licence, PPL
    2. Light Aircraft Pilot licence, LAPL
    3. Go Solo
    pilot information chart used when learning to fly Goodwood Aerodrome

    Private Pilot Licence, PPL

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

    Trial lessons, flying experiences and learn to fly in the Goodwood Cessna

    Light Aircraft Pilot licence, LAPL

    The LAPL requires a minimum of 30 hours of training, with less rigorous medical standards than the PPL.  It is valid within the UK for aircraft under 2,000kg and a maximum of 3 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 Cub.

    Go Solo

    If you are unsure about tackling a full course to gain a Licence, our ‘Go solo’ course, consisting of 15 hours of training in one of our Cessna 172s or the Cub, is a good place to start.  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 LAPL or PPL.

    The FIC 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 the removal of your ‘no applied instrument’ and ‘no night training’ restrictions.

    Flying Courses for non-pilots

    We can help you overcome the fear of flying.  Gaining a better understanding of what is involved and taking it slowly can help you become more comfortable and maybe even begin to enjoy being in the air.  If you feel like taking it a step further, our companion course will make you a more confident and knowledgeable passenger.
