Flight Training

Bristol Flying Centre is housed in a new building on the south side of Bristol International airport, and has been designed specifically to fulfil the needs of the students and their training requirements. We have been a leading player in the commercial training field for a number of years, and have acquired a reputation for our excellent facilities and quality of training provided. The majority of students attend Bristol Flying Centre on the recommendation of past students and this is something we are very proud of.

The training fleet includes 2 Citation Jet C525s, 3 King Air B200, 6 Seneca II's, 2 PA 28's, and 3 PA 28R, plus two purpose built type specific Seneca II FNPT 2 simulators. The simulators are built into Seneca fuselages with all controls and instruments an exact match for the aircraft used during your flight training. The complete package includes visual aids and full digital avionics suite together with accurate control loading and plotting to aid post flight student analysis. Thus, the transition from simulator to aircraft can be made with relative ease.

In the last year our students successfully completed their instrument ratings with a first series pass rate of 91%, and CPL ratings at 100%. These excellent pass rates are achieved by strictly controlling our Student-Instructor ratio together with our high standard of Instructors.
Flight tests are conducted at Bristol Airport from the CAA Regional Test Centre based within our flight centre. This means incurring no additional costs of repositioning, which can get very expensive if you have to do more than one test.

Bristol International Airport is a moderately busy regional airport with comprehensive instrument approaches and easy access to relatively undisturbed airspace to the North and South of the airfield. Other airfields used for training and tests include Cardiff, Exeter and Filton, all of which have ILS and NDB facilities.

If you are planning a tour of UK schools, you are welcome to call in and view our operation. We open from 07:30 to 19:30 or later, seven days a week. Whilst here you will be able to talk to current students and tour our facilities at your leisure.
