ABOUT US
'Cambrian'
(Aero Club est. since 1997) - a name with aviation associations in
Wales and NW England since the 1930s. We aim to keep the name and
the historic links with GA & private flying alive. A Vicount
700 Captain was the first to initiate flight training from Southport
Beach in the 1950's - those were days - 45 shillings
an hour!.

Cambrian
Aero (Training) is a fully compliant CAA Registered (Pilot)
Training Facility, offering professional, safety oriented
courses for serious pilots and members. You will find the kind of
post-experience CPL/PPL & NPPL (microlight, aeroplane land/sea)
support pilots often find quite difficult to obtain elsewhere. Our
Ground School (PPL/CPL) programmes in particular attract students
from a wide variety of backgrounds, both from the immediate locality
and from further afield - within the UK and Internationally. This
is based on an ability to offer specialist ground training from Microlight,
PPL, to Ground
Instructor and Commercial Pilot Level.
Training,
and mentoring in the relaxed environment of
small airfields, and also busy international airports is provided
by a highly experienced Team, including an FI/Commercial
Pilot and a CAA Flight Examiner & Advanced Instructor. All have
extensive and varied GA experience throughout Europe, the US
and Canada. Our Training
Approach, from basic to more advanced, avoids
over formalised instruction with fixed agendas. Instead, we aim to
provide pilots with opportunities to achieve their own personal objectives,
often by flying with other experienced fellow aviators through the
AOPA
Mentor scheme, and Spending
more time explaining difficult topics - but above
all having fun while learning and progressing!.
