BROOKLANDS Flying Club provides pilot training to the highest standards as a Civil Aviation Authority Registered Training Facility. Located on the historic Sywell Aerodrome, itself in the pretty rolling countryside midway between Northampton and Wellingborough, the clubhouse overlooks the airfield and all its activity.
Inside are spacious classrooms and lecture rooms fitted out with every up to date facility required to train you for your pilots licence. Next door is the Pilots Mess, the themed airfield cafe for pilots, passengers and those accompanying their friends and family taking trial flights.
Outside to the front lies our own predominantly grass airfield, licensed by the CAA for training, with a hard runway for all-weather round the year use, and to the rear the hangar for our aircraft.
We are here to train you for a Private Pilots Licence and if you already have your licence we offer the Night Qualification, IMC rating and aircraft for you to hire.
We also offer Tiger Moth trial flights, and where better to enjoy this classic vintage trainer than from an aerodrome that first saw Tiger Moths being used to train pilots back in 1932?
A great sport for some... a great career path for others

BREAKING NEWS
I am very pleased to announce that with IMMEDIATE effect the Schools fleet of AT3s will be available for private hire. Providing you have, as a student and PPL holder, trained on the aircraft and are current on the AT3 you can book on the system as a private hire, taking family and friends on a day out or simply viewing the gorgeous Northants countryside from the air. The usual flying orders will be applied and the aircraft must be returned with the same amount of fuel in as when it departed. Rates are approx £85 per hr dry plus the fuel which you also pay for. This new regime will be very closely monitored and the success of it very much depends on you.
Also, we may soon be planning to open up the school every day apart from Tuesday for a limited period if the need is there. With hopefully better weather, Brooklands plan to open and offer you a much more extensive programme than present - but only if you require the time. I know some of you have commented in the past about extra days, so here is your chance. Pass the word around please and let us know your thoughts.
Happy flying as always.
