About Ravenair

Ravenair Flying School is based at Liverpool John Lennon Airport in the North West of England, operating from the Business Aviation Centre. Training from a busy controlled airport can be a real advantage for students who want early exposure to radio work and controlled airspace procedures, building confidence for touring and future progression. The school offers a wide spread of options for private pilots, from first flights through to licence issue and ongoing development. Its course list includes the Private Pilot Licence and Light Aircraft Pilot Licence, with supporting training such as FRTOL, Night Rating, IR(R), aerobatic training, hour building and SEP class rating options. This gives new learners a straightforward path into flying while also providing plenty of “next steps” once the basics are in place. For people who want to try flying before committing, Ravenair promotes trial lessons that follow the early part of the PPL syllabus. The emphasis is on a properly briefed lesson with time in the air that can be logged toward training if the student chooses to continue. The trial flight is also presented as a good fit for gifts and for anyone exploring an aviation career. Ravenair also highlights depth for those aiming beyond private flying. Alongside commercial training, it advertises airline focused pathways such as ATPL theory and APS MCC JOC style multi crew preparation, plus related support such as airline assessment help. It also lists instructor training routes, which can appeal to pilots planning longer term development in aviation. Fleet and facilities are a further positive. Ravenair describes a fleet sized to support both training and aircraft hire, covering single engine and multi engine aircraft. It also notes multi engine aircraft equipped with modern Garmin avionics and autopilot systems, supporting a more current training experience. Finally, the organisation states that it holds both UK and EASA approvals, which may suit students who want flexibility around licence outcomes.
