The Best Priced Flight Training In Cumbria!

Here at Carlisle Flight Training we are a friendly yet professional family run flight school and aero club, dedicated to keeping flying safe, fun and as  easy on the wallet as we possibly can (Top dollar doesn't always mean "Top quality").

Alan Rayson, CFI (Chief Flying Instructor) and owner has been teaching people to fly for over 15 years, so when the opportunity arose for Alan and his wife Helen to start their own school, they leapt at the chance.  Alan started his instructor's life some years ago with another local flying school, Cumbria Aero Club, which has now sadly closed, due to the death of the CFI Robin Nicol.  Here Alan taught the future defenders of our Empire, so if your looking for an experienced well balanced gentle giant of an instructor then look no further, of course we have other instructors all of whom are excellent (see the about us page for more details).

Whether you are looking for a one-off experience, a new challenge or perhaps the start of a new career or maybe you already have a PPL and you just want to hire one of our aircraft, then we can help you, so give us a call or come and see for yourself.

There can be no more beautiful place in which to learn to fly than Cumbria, based at Carlisle Airport we are within a 1 hour drive of the beautiful Lake District and Southern Cumbria, a stone's throw from Southern Scotland and an hour from the East Coast, we benefit from quiet airspace which is ideal for learning to fly, so come give it a try we're looking forward to seeing you.
