Welcome to Lydd Aero Club Flight Training
As a UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Approved Training Organisation (ATO), Lydd Aero Club delivers world-class theoretical and practical instruction tailored to every private pilot’s ambition. Whether you are taking your first steps into aviation or advancing your ratings, our expert team provides comprehensive training under one roof.
Your Pathways to Flight
UK PPL(A) – Private Pilot Licence Globally recognized under ICAO standards, the Private Pilot Licence is your passport to international flying. A PPL also forms the foundation for advanced qualifications—including Multi-Engine, Instrument, and Night ratings—all of which can be fully completed right here at Lydd Aero Club.
UK NPPL(A) – National Private Pilot Licence Designed for UK-restricted flying with streamlined requirements, the NPPL provides an accessible route into aviation. Following recent regulatory updates, pilots can now attach advanced ratings—such as the IMC rating (limited Instrument Rating)—directly to an NPPL.
In-House Testing & Examiners
Streamline your training timeline. All practical and theoretical examinations—including the radio telephony practical—can be completed on-site. Our distinguished instructional staff includes CAA-appointed Ground and Flight Examiners.
Important Prerequisite: Please note that a valid Medical Certificate and appropriate Theoretical Knowledge Assessment must be completed prior to your first solo flight.
Ground School
Lydd Aero Club does not teach a formal Ground School although much of the pre and post flight briefings will cover many of the Theoretical Knowledge Assessment subjects. The Club has a link with PPLEasy Ground School. There you will find options to buy assistance with each exam or packages to cover all the PPL required exams – there are some FREE lesson to get you started
For Pilots there is always the need for refreshers and assistance to obtain more complex ratings. CLICK below for information
