Training

Hour Building

Are you planning to complete commercial pilot training in the future, or would you like to expand your flying horizons?

Mentored Hour Building

Mentored hour building with Freedom Aviation has led many pilots to a first time pass on their CPL and IR Skill Tests. Other pilots may spend their hour building visiting the same local airfields, which neither challenges them nor improves their airmanship. Our highly experienced team can help design a package for you which is tailored to your needs, and is guaranteed to be challenging, rewarding and enjoyable. Along the way you will develop your skills in crew resource management, forward planning and risk analysis on an hour by hour basis.

Your hour building with us can be as long or as short as you want. We will typically run a trip from three days up to a week, and during this time progressive pilots can look forward to landing at busy international airports, as well as small island strips in areas so remote few people have ever heard of them. We can also help consolidate your general handling to ensure you are left fully prepared for your future flying courses.

To date, we have visited the Channel Islands, Scotland, Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal, Corsica, Italy, Croatia, Sardinia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Romania, Poland, Estonia, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and in 2019 we even reached St Petersburg in Russia. If you are new to European flying, we can help with all your flight planning, and guide you through the process of submitting flight plans and GAR forms. Over the years, we have developed many contacts with hotels and airfields, and we can often keep prices lower than the usual published fees.

Club Flying Adventures

In addition to our mentored hour building packages, we also frequently run Club Flying Adventures. These are open to all Freedom members, both qualified pilots and those undergoing training. During a club trip you will have the chance to meet new people and enjoy a relaxed flying atmosphere, whilst still exploring a wide variety of new places across the UK and Europe.
