Our Key Services


Experience Flights

We offer a full range of air experience flights, ranging from a 30 minute taster flight to a “land-away” experience which you might like to enjoy with friends/family so that two of you have the opportunity to fly.

For the really adventurous, we offer aerobatic flights too! Check out these videos of typical aerobatic experience flights… 

Our Fleet

Redhill Aviation operates a large fleet of popular two and four seat aircraft as well as complex single and multi engine piston aircraft available.

Available for both training and PPL self-hire are multiple two-seat Cessna 152s, including an Cessna Aerobat. We also offer the ubiquitous Piper PA28, an aircraft that can carry up to four people. It is the 180hp variant, with a Garmin 430 and leather seats.

For those who wish to move up to a faster, complex type with retractable undercarriage and variable-pitch propeller, we offer the Piper Arrow PA28R. The Arrow is also fitted with a Garmin 430 GPS.

We offer a welcoming reception area with free Wi-Fi, a sofa and magazines for students and visitors to read. Our operations staff are always on hand to answer any queries and especially enjoying hearing how students’ training is progressing over a complimentary cuppa!

We also have dedicated briefing & exam rooms for students.

There is ample free car parking on-site along with a great cafe overlooking the aerodrome.

It is a licensed airfield with six grass runways (plus two tarmac runways when the grass is waterlogged) and full Air Traffic Control. The Aerodrome is open 0900 to 1900 during summer months and 0900 to 1700 during the winter. Extensions can also be arranged. See Map and Directions.

The full Instrument Rating allows you to take off and land in conditions that would stop most Private Pilots; it also allows you to fly in airways all over the world. This rating really does give you ‘freedom of the skies’. We offer the full IR as well as the Competency Based IR (CBIR) for those coming to us with the required experience. Read More>.
