The Truth: I learnt to fly at this school in 2011/12 and passed my PPL in minimum hours, first time. I continued to fly their aircraft and went on to do my IMC rating and Aerobatic rating with them. Their prices are probably the best in the country. The instructors are very knowledgeable and take time to ensure you understand the lesson fully. I had a truly fantastic experience with this school and still do.There are however, two sides to every story and I happen to know the other side to the chap Lloyd’s negative experience. 1 - After having a one hour Aerobatic experience in the Cessna 150, he solo hired the aircraft at a later date. When questioned what he was off to go and do, his response was “to practice the aerobatics I was shown last time”. He has recently got his PPL and doesn’t have an Aerobatic rating. I’d say that’s pretty idiotic. 2 - Another time and most recent, I believe he was out of currency for solo hire for the aircraft. He tried to argue the toss that he was current because he’d been “flying” a non approved, home made, Boeing 737 simulator. I’d also say that’s pretty idiotic.Anyway, York Flying School is awesome and thank you for everything.

Paul Wilman: A First class flying school.

Graham West: Made to feel very welcome

Alex Paterson: Breighton airfield is a little gem, just south of york, its a pleasant hours drive.Its usually quite quiet.The owners private collection of aircraft, are imacculate and a joy to behold.

ciprian: Amazing experience! Great place! Extraordinary people!

gawar altoushay: Relaxed and friendly staff ... I decided to continue. With them due to there approach. To teaching .i certainly. Got the impression that they doing it for the love of flying and pass on their knowledge. Rather than making money. I had my first lesson at this club with Eon and it was great he is wealth of knowledge and I'm sure the rest of instructors just as helpful and knowledgeable . I cant wait to get my ppl with this club. Thanks guys .

Richard Boothroyd: I completed my PPL at the first attempt with York Flying School. The entire process was very smooth and professional and the environment is always friendly and relaxed. All the staff are very knowledgeable and the pricing is by far the most reasonable I could find anywhere in the country. If you are considering doing your PPL training look no further than this place. Highly recommended. A+

Joseph Margaglione: Had my first flying lesson and it was a great experience!

Kevin Dermott: I went to York flying school for training . The airfield is great, it has a wide runway great for training and everyone is friendly. The instructors are skilled and very helpful from the microlight instructor to Lewes the tailwheel instructor and Mickey at the helm. I enjoyed my training and the prices are the most reasonable that can be found almost anywhere. You will miss out if you do not try these guys! Thanks for everything from start to finish.
