About Merseyflight Air Training School

Merseyflight Air Training School is a North West flight training provider based at Hawarden (Chester), operating from Aviation Park and positioning itself as a modern, structured school with a clear focus on supporting students from first flight through to more advanced qualifications. For newcomers, Merseyflight offers trial flying lessons and gift experiences, designed to be hands-on and instructional rather than just a ride, with options to capture the flight on 360 degree video. For those progressing into licences, Merseyflight provides training pathways such as the PPL and LAPL, with a training pathway approach that maps out logical next steps as skills and ambitions grow. Post-licence development includes popular add-ons like the Night Rating and IR(R), plus advanced instrument training such as CB-IR. A key strength is the supporting infrastructure: an online groundschool portal with learning resources and mock exams, plus a high-tech simulator (including a cockpit replication of their PA-38 trainer) to practise procedures and consolidate skills when weather isn't ideal. The training fleet focuses on Piper types (including PA-38, PA-28 and PA-44), helping students progress with consistent cockpit layouts as they advance.
