Services
Cranfield Flying School is the largest and longest established flying school at Cranfield Airport. The airport has a worldwide reputation for flying training and aviation education and is one of the best equipped in the UK, with the facilities to handle training to the highest level with full instrument landing capabilities (ILS, DME, ADF and GNS approaches) and a long, well maintained, tarmac runway.
Jim has been in and around Cranfield Flying School for a number or years advising and helping the school to modernise. He worked for most of his career in large corporations but always had a love of flying having learned to fly in the University Air Squadron in his late teens. Jim has a PPL with an Instrument rating and loves to fly on long trips around Europe.
The university is building a state of the art aeronautical research unit sponsored by Boeing and Rolls Royce. The upshot is that you have to find parking wherever you can and walk to the school down the pedestrian access way. The best area to park is to the right when you hit the authorised vehicles only sign.
There are many different ways to learn to fly, with different aircraft, differnt airfields, different types of courses and different forms of piloting. This can be very confusing to someone entering a flying school for the first time. We operate what is called a modular sytem of flying training using Piper aircraft (Warriors, Arrows and Seminole).
