About Hields Aviation

Hields Aviation is a long-established Yorkshire operator offering a mix of flight training and introductory flying experiences, with a particular reputation in helicopters. Established in 1989 and described as a family-run business, it operates primarily from Sherburn-in-Elmet Airfield (near Leeds and York), where it highlights a welcoming, purpose-built chalet-style base and the ability to complete training exercises locally, helped by dedicated helicopter circuits on the airfield. For aspiring rotorcraft pilots, Hields promotes training pathways including PPL(H) and CPL(H), plus type ratings. The fleet is presented as a key strength, advertising the Robinson R44 alongside the more premium Bell 505.
