Welcome to Bournemouth Flying Club. Whether you want to learn to fly as a pastime, start a career in commercial aviation, or are simply a lover of aviation, you've come to the right place.

Bournemouth airport has a long and rich history and has grown to be a commercial base for civilian, government and military operators, as well as being home to the many private pilots operating from this premier location.

We're proud to be recognised as one of the top training establishments in the UK and we are fully approved by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to teach a wide spectrum of courses from the National Private Pilots Licence though to Commercial training.

The club is renowned for both the quality of training provided and it's friendly social activities - we hope this is reflected in our web site. Take time to look around - if you need more information simply contact us and any one of our experienced instructors or operations staff will be glad to help. Better still, come and spend some time with us and enjoy a meal in our licensed club-house.

Flying is more than just a pastime; it is a skill which needs application and is to be taken seriously. It also an experience that becomes, for the few who become qualified pilots, a part of life to be enjoyed to the fullest.

I, together with Head of Training Captain Lance Plews and our staff, assure you of a relaxed and amicable atmosphere in which we can offer professional training of the highest calibre. Our BFC guarantee is that your time with us will be a rewarding and exhilarating experience.
