About Saxon Air Flight Training

Saxon Air Flight Training is a Norwich Airport–based flying school offering a modern route into general aviation, with training designed to suit both leisure pilots and those building toward professional goals. Operating from Saxon Air’s Business Aviation Centre environment, the school positions itself as a polished, service-led option for students who value a professional setting and structured support. For ab-initio students, Saxon Air provides a UK CAA-approved Private Pilot Licence (PPL(A)) course focused on building safe, confident aircraft handling through a blend of practical flying and essential theoretical learning. Alongside time in the air, the school highlights additional learning support such as ground school guidance and simulator access to help students develop knowledge and procedures in a lower-pressure environment. A standout feature is Saxon Air’s emphasis on lower-emission training. The fleet includes the all-electric Pipistrel Velis Electro and the fuel-efficient Pipistrel Explorer (Virus 121A), giving students exposure to newer aviation technology and a more sustainability-minded approach than many traditional training providers. Training is also available on the Diamond DA40, a widely respected modern trainer well suited to developing strong fundamentals and advanced handling skills. Beyond core PPL training, Saxon Air promotes a broader training “pathway” approach, referencing options such as structured hour-building and additional training elements for those progressing after the initial licence. The overall proposition is learner-centred: a contemporary fleet, experienced instructional delivery, and an approach that aims to adapt to different goals—whether that’s flying for enjoyment, building confidence as part of a wider aviation journey, or preparing for next steps after a first licence.
