   Fantastic experience yesterday at Brighton Aviation. I took a trial lesson with instructor Dave, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. He is a fantastic pilot, instructor, and an all round great guy. Completely put me at ease and we had a great chat on the Isle of Wight about our shared interest of aviation. I will definitely like to go back again and take more lessons. The plane was very nicely presented, and I could see it was maintained to an incredibly high standard. Pete and Dawn were so easy to communicate with during my initial enquiry, and even messaged me after the flight to check that I had enjoyed it. Top marks from me.

   Peter took my son flying for his 21st birthday. From the initial enquiry right through to the day of flying we were so impressed with the service. He was so calm and made my son feel at ease. My other son was also able to go as passenger which was great. My son had the best time and we would thoroughly recommend Brighton Aviation.

   What an amazing time, Myself and my wife took to the Sky's with Brighton Aviation, Peter and his wife made us feel very comfortable we had a quick briefing then went out to the Aircraft, we did our checks and away we went then before long i was flying by myself. Its a lot easier then you think, although Peter was by our side keeping an eye on things, We landed on the Isle of Wight and my wife felt so comfortable she flew back to Shoreham. We are both now considering doing our PPL, we will be booking more hours with Brighton Aviation very soon. JJ & DJ

   Fantastic flying experience with Peter. Amazing value for an unforgettable experience. My wife is terrified of flying but thoroughly enjoyed being a passenger and felt safe the entire time. Now I'm looking around my home for things I can flog so I can start my PPL.

   What a fantastic experience. !! My trip was a 70th birthday present in 2020, but delayed for almost a year because of Covid and I must admit as time went by I started to become a little nervous and apprehensive at the prospect .... what a mistake that was !!! Right from the outset Peter was great, friendly, welcoming, calm and supportive. The flight was fantastic (22nd September 2021), the weather was perfect and it was like going for drive with an old friend who was pointing out areas of interest as well as teaching you to fly a plane at the same time. brilliant !! Even my wife sitting in the rear was totally relaxed and put completely at ease by Peter. All in all a fabulous experience can't recommend it highly enough.

   Having flown a great deal in my younger years I was very excited that my family had booked me an hours flying for my birthday. Nick was my instructor for the flight, such a supportive & friendly chap. Beautiful flight down to Portsmouth, flying over many landmarks on the way. This has certainly reignited my passion for light aviation. I will definitely be looking into more lessons very soon. Thanks again Nick for a fantastic hours flying.

   I hadn’t seen Peter for many years, and hadn’t flown for eight years. I was excited and nervous - would I remember the basics, would I be embarrassed, would I enjoy flying after so many years?? Within seconds of meeting up with Peter (and Dawn), I was completely at ease - discussing what I would like to do over a cup of tea. Plans made, we walked out to his well equipped PA28, and I felt completely comfortable in the left seat. Peter talked me through the preflight and engine start, and there I was - taxying towards the runway... The aircraft is very stable in the air with good visibility, and it felt so reassuring to have Peter’s jolly but professional guidance beside me. After an all too short hour, we were back on the ground again - exhilarated and wanting more please!!!!! I would recommend anybody who wants to experience the thrill of flight - be it for an hour or to renew an old rating, be guided by someone who has done it - trust Peter...you won’t regret one moment, and you’ll be bitten by the flying bug! Thank you - and see you there at Brighton Aviation.
