The Fleet

  • PA28s  G-GALB and G-BCRL - from £110 per hour


 Why hire or learn on a two seater Cessna C152 when you can use a Piper PA28 four-seater aircraft for similar cost? The PA28 offers a much larger cabin and allows those who are not the average size to learn comfortably. If you and your Instructor are over 6 feet tall you're not limited to carrying reduced fuel to comply with strict weight and balance criteria.

The PA28 is the aircraft you are most likely to use for touring the UK and Europe with friends and family after achieving your Private Pilot Licence. No need to convert onto a larger faster aircraft.

You can also bring your friends and family to fly with you FREE of charge during your Pilots Licence Course. Our aircraft are amongst the most well equipped training aircraft in the country. Don't be taken in by apparently cheap rates elsewhere - at £110 per hour plus £7.50 per landing at Humberside, our four-seater aircraft hire rates are comparable to most rates offered on smaller two seater aircraft.
