Open Blue Flight Training

About Open Blue Flight Training

Open Blue Flight Training is based at Bagby Airfield near Thirsk and serves pilots across North Yorkshire and Teesside. It presents itself as a straightforward, student focused school, with an emphasis on calm, safety minded instruction and one to one teaching paced to the individual. For people comparing training options, Open Blue offers the main private licence routes including the Private Pilot Licence and the NPPL(A), with follow on training such as the Night Rating. It also supports pilots who want to build experience or return to flying, listing hour building, refresher training and single engine class renewals. Trial flights are positioned as a genuine first step into training rather than a passive ride. The school describes a clear lesson flow that includes a pre flight briefing, hands on flying in the air and a debrief with suggested next steps. This suits first timers who want to see what flying lessons are really like, and it also works well for people who are deciding whether to commit to a full course. A practical positive is aircraft choice. Training is offered on a two seat Piper Tomahawk and a four seat Cessna 172, which gives flexibility for early lessons and, where appropriate, the option for passengers on experience flights. Overall, Open Blue will appeal to learners who want a focused, no fuss approach with clear instruction and a welcoming North Yorkshire base.
