Why you'll love it here

A place pilots actually want to teach

We've built the kind of flying club we always wished we could fly from: beautiful skies, aircraft you can trust, technology that handles the boring stuff, and people who genuinely love aviation. Bring your passion for teaching — we'll take care of the rest.

Adur Aviation

Fly somewhere breathtaking

Instruct over the South Downs, the Sussex coastline, and across to the Isle of Wight from Brighton City Airport (Shoreham, EGKA) — one of the most scenic places to fly in the UK.

Adur Aviation

A modern, cared-for fleet

Teach on tidy, well-maintained aircraft that students love and instructors trust — so you can focus on the lesson, not the logbook gremlins.

Adur Aviation

Tech that kills the paperwork

Online booking, digital records, and our own club app mean less admin and more airtime. Your day is about flying, not filing.

Adur Aviation

A real club, not a conveyor belt

A warm, supportive community of members and staff who actually enjoy each other's company. You'll be a name here, never a number.

Adur Aviation

Flexibility that fits your life

Full-time, part-time, weekends, or seasonal — tell us what works and we'll build a schedule around it. Hour-builders and career FIs both welcome.

Adur Aviation

Room to grow

Add ratings, mentor new pilots, and help shape how we teach as the club grows. Your ideas won't get lost in a hangar somewhere.

Who we're looking for

Could this be you?

If you love flying and you love helping other people discover that same feeling, we'd love to hear from you. The essentials are simple:

  • A current Flight Instructor rating — or one about to be issued
  • A genuine passion for teaching and bringing out the best in your students
  • Patience, professionalism, and a safety-first mindset
  • The right to work in the UK
  • Bonus points for IR(R), night, tailwheel, or aerobatic experience — lovely to have, never essential

Newly-qualified or thousands of hours in your logbook — talent and attitude matter more to us than the size of your hours column.

Life on the South Coast

Brighton on your doorstep, the Channel off your wingtip

We're based at Brighton City Airport in Shoreham-by-Sea — minutes from the beaches, bars, and buzz of Brighton & Hove, with the rolling South Downs National Park right behind you and London barely an hour away by train. It's one of the best lifestyle bases in the country to hang your headset.
