Lydd Aero Club

About Lydd Aero Club

Lydd Aero Club is a Kent-based flight training organisation located at Lydd Airport on the south-east coast, offering a practical and well-supported route into private flying. It positions its trial lessons as genuine instructional flights (not sightseeing), with time flown able to count toward licence training, making them a useful first step for anyone exploring learning to fly. Training is centred on the Private Pilot Licence (PPL), delivered with both the practical flying and the supporting ground-based elements needed to progress confidently through the syllabus. The club highlights on-site support for the required theoretical knowledge side of training, helping students keep their learning organised alongside time in the air. For those who want to maintain momentum, Lydd Aero Club also promotes a Fast Track PPL option aimed at more intensive training, subject to student availability. Beyond initial training, it offers additional capability-building options such as Night flying and multi-engine training, making it a suitable place to continue developing after the first licence.
