Fast Track PPL Training

Earn Your Wings Faster

The Fast Fly PPL is an accelerated route for students who can commit serious time each week to learning to fly.

This could be as part of your longer journey towards a commercial licence, or simply, to complete your PPL in a shorter window.

Is a Fast Fly PPL right for you?

Lessons booked in advance

A schedule to keep you moving with weather contingency built in.

Full time commitment

Our airfield is open 7 days. Expect to fly midweek and weekends.

Instructor continuity

Where possible, you’ll train with the same instructors to allow consistency.

4-6 weeks with good weather is achievable, depending on theoretical exams and ability to commit full-time.

Get in touch and we’ll map out a realistic plan based on availability, the time of year and how many days you can commit.

Once you’ve earned your wings, you can keep flying as a member of the Cotswold Self Fly Club and build hours towards the modular commercial route.

If getting your Commercial Pilot Licence is the goal, we can help you understand the modular route and what to line up next as part of this journey.

FAQs

Does Fast Fly PPL Cost more?
No. All of our costs are on a Pay As You Fly basis, so you don’t pay a premium for learning intensively.

In fact, some students find intensive lessons a more efficient way to build their hours and experience pilot training which can bring the overall cost down as a result.
What if the weather disrupts the plan?
To gain your wings you need to build flight hours, but also pass your theoretical exams. If the weather means we cannot fly, self-study or Ground School for these exams is the best use of time. Getting them squared away is wise. Back in the air as soon as it’s flyable.
