MP Flying Club

MP Flying Club is a flying school at Biggin Hill Airport, close to London in the United Kingdom. It calls itself a friendly club and a CAA Approved Training Organisation. The club is based at Shipping and Airlines at Biggin Hill, which it describes as the closest aerodrome to the City of London.

The club teaches the Private Pilot Licence, which lets a pilot fly an aircraft for private use. For people who want a career in flying, the site says it is also the first step. Students who already hold a licence can add more skills with a night rating, the restricted instrument rating and a tailwheel conversion.

The tailwheel course is a main feature. The club has two vintage tailwheel aircraft, and the site says students can train on a World War 2 warbird. The third aircraft is a modern Grumman AA5B. The club has four qualified flight instructors, including a chief flying instructor who is also an examiner.

For beginners there are trial flying lessons, which let a person try the controls of an aircraft. The site also sells trial lessons and gift certificates. A further course is the AOPA Flying Companion Course. It is made for partners and friends who want to understand flying better or who want to feel calmer as a passenger in any aircraft.

New members are welcome to join the club. Rates and details are given on request, so the site asks visitors to get in touch. It has a contact form and a site map, and the club has a Facebook page. The site says visitors should check their junk mail for the reply.
