Have you ever wondered what it is like to be flying an aeroplane on your own ?
Here at Invicta Aero Club you can train onto become a commercial pilot, and one day fly around the world as a career, all starting at a small airstrip here in Kent.
Our initial pilot training is concentrated on either our Microlight, Cessna or Piper or a combination of all. Stoke Medway is an ideal location to learn the basics of flying, and our cost efficient approach using the Eurostar EV-97 means you can quickly gain experience and key skills before flying the larger aeroplanes. Rochester restrict ab-initio pilot training so we position to a neighbouring airfield or use our other Kent bases, Stoke Medway or Lydd Airport.
You can depart from either Stoke Medway, Rochester or Lydd and we have aircraft based at all the airports ready to conduct your lessons to achieve your pilots licence.
The progression between a microlight licence to aeroplane licence is now possible with ease, and only requires training to meet test standards.
Please contact us to discuss the right path for you.
