Our Story


The School

Cubair Flight Training is a long established, not for profit flying school created with the aim of promoting leisure aviation. We offer courses of training leading to the Private Pilot’s Licence (PPL) and the Light Aircraft Pilot’s Licence (LAPL) and their associated ratings. We also offer familiarisation/differences training for tail wheel aircraft and for electronic flight instrumentation systems (EFIS). We have a diverse fleet of aircraft suited to different roles to meet specific training requirements. As we are not driven by the need for profit we are able to offer an individual service to our students with time to complete proper pre and post flight briefings and for our instructors to attend to a student's particular needs. We have a dedicated team of instructors many of whom come from an airline or corporate jet background, others are experienced general aviation pilots. One thing that they all have in common is the desire to pass on their knowledge, skills and love of flying to new pilots. We have our own flight and ground examiners and we are a corporate member of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. Our focus is on quality, not quantity.

How We Work

At Cubair we believe in being totally upfront and realistic about prices. With us what you see is what you get, there are no hidden fuel surcharges or weekend supplements. Many other flying schools will charge you from the moment you start the engine on the aeroplane to when you shut down. We charge only for time that you are airborne plus a nominal 0.2 hours for taxying regardless of how long you are actually on the ground for. With us if you taxy for fuel or are held on the ground by ATC you won't be paying for this time.  Redhill Aerodrome has full Air Traffic Control and all modern facilities but is focused on general aviation. Being held on the ground by Redhill ATC for any length of time is unusual. Unlike other nearby airports priority is not given to commercial jet operators so you get the maximum amount of flying time from your lesson. Redhill is easily accessible from the M25/A25/A23 and close to both Nutfield and Redhill railway stations.
