About the experience
Ready to take to the skies near Chester? At Hawarden Airport, you can experience the thrill of flying a plane with trial flights in two and four-seater aircraft. Located in Flintshire, North Wales, just four miles west of Chester, this airport offers breathtaking views of mountains, coastline, and towns during your flight. These experiences are not just joyrides - you get to be the pilot. We offer 30-minute experiences in a two-seater Piper PA38, treating each flight as an actual first lesson for a budding pilot. Your time can be entered into your Pilot's Log. During the 30-minute sessions, you'll learn the basics, practice straight and level flight, and hopefully make some turns, as well as taxi on the runway. Our instructor pilots have extensive flying experience and are committed to guiding students to become safe, knowledgeable, and competent aviators. Hawarden is an ideal place to learn about aviation. The airfield near Chester has a rich history in aircraft construction. Today, the Broughton factory manufactures Airbus wings, flown off-site in the impressive 'Beluga.' If you're lucky, you might see a Beluga take off or land while you're at Hawarden Airport for your flying lesson in the Chester/North Wales skies!
