Leicestershire Aero Club

About Leicestershire Aero Club

Leicestershire Aero Club is based at Leicester Airport (EGBG), about three miles from Leicester city centre. It has been part of the local flying scene since 1909. It runs as a private members club, so training sits alongside normal club flying, aircraft hire, and day-to-day airfield activity. The flight school offers Private Pilot Licence training and the NPPL route, plus short flying lessons and try flying flights. Training commonly starts in a two-seat Cessna 152, with a move to a four-seat type available. After the first licence, the school offers add-on training including the Night Rating, IR(R), aerobatic training and the aerobatic rating, tailwheel differences training, and a Flying Companion course. There is a clubhouse bar and kitchen, social nights and events.
