Learn To Fly In Yorkshire

Learning to fly will be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make. Trust us, we did it and we never looked back!

Here at Hields we make pilot training fun and most important of all, safe. Our flying instructors will put you through our tried and tested training plan to help you not only become a competent pilot, but give you the foundations that will go right through your pilot career.

For some, a private pilot’s licence (PPL) is enough, it give you the freedom to fly yourself and your friends from airfields across the country. For others, commercial flying is the dream. Which ever flying goal is yours we’re sure to help you achieve.

Thanks to our multi-site network we’re able to teach flying at two of Yorkshire’s best known aerodromes. Sherburn-in-Elmet Airfield and the fabulous Leeds Bradford International Airport.

Currently our R44 helicopter training is carried out from our site at Sherburn. As you’d expect it’s a much quieter airfield for learning how to fly a helicopter, and we even have our very own dedicated circuits. But soon to be expanded to offer both R44 and Bell 505 training from Leeds Bradford for our customers who reside near the airport.

Fixed wing pilot training is from our flight school at Leeds Bradford Airport. Here our instructors are able to quickly prepare and familiarise students with the large infrastructure that comes with busier airports. Learning to fly in Yorkshire has never been so much fun, and how many people can say they’ve landed an aircraft on an international airport?!

Information evenings: On the first Wednesday of every month, we host an information evening from 6pm – 8pm at our Leeds Bradford flight school. Call to book on 0113 898 0457.
