Light aircraft over the countryside

From licence to lifestyle — build the confidence, judgement and real-world capability to get more from your PPL.

Club Aero’s Advanced Pilot Skills Programme is designed for qualified PPL holders who want to go beyond the basic licence and become more confident, capable and independent pilots.

The programme covers the areas that make the biggest difference in real-world flying, including aircraft handling, navigation and touring, weather, decision-making, unfamiliar aerodromes, emergencies, advanced landings, flight planning and pilot-in-command development.

Training is tailored to your experience and goals, whether you are returning after a break, looking to improve confidence, planning longer trips or simply wanting to raise the standard of your flying.
