The Sibson Advantage

Stop paying £237/hr to sit on a taxiway.

At major commercial airports, student pilots often spend 15 to 20 minutes of their expensive lesson time waiting on the taxiway for commercial jet clearance. Not here.

  • More Time In The Air

    A 60-minute lesson at Peterborough means 55 minutes actually flying, not 40.

  • Fast Taxi Times

    Our grass strip means you start up, complete your checks, and take off without the commercial delays.

  • Relaxed Club Atmosphere

    Learn in a friendly, supportive environment surrounded by beautiful Cambridgeshire scenery.
