Blackbushe School of Flying, trading as Air First Ltd, has been welcoming student pilots at Blackbushe Airport in Surrey since 1985 — giving you over 40 years of aviation expertise to draw on. Whether you're chasing your PPL, LAPL, Night Rating, or IR(R), you'll be trained by instructors with real airline and commercial backgrounds in airspace that borders Farnborough, Gatwick, and Heathrow — excellent preparation for real-world flying. Trial flights start from just £90 and count towards your licence, making it a fantastic first step into aviation. The friendly, family-run team also organises fly-aways to destinations like Sweden, Venice, and Prague, so there's a real community feel here beyond just the training.
