Welcome!

Andrews’ Aviation is based in the heart of the West Country within easy reach of Bristol, Bath & surrounding areas of Somerset and Gloucestershire. We offer advanced flight training for the UK Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) Rating and the ICAO-compliant Instrument Rating (IR) via the Competency-Based Modular Flight Training Route along with ground school & UK CAA theoretical knowledge (TK) examinations for the private pilot licence and practical testing for the Flight RadioTelephony Operators Licence (FRTOL)*.

*aka “RT Licence” or “RTF Licence” or “Radio Licence”

Why train with us?

Flight training is as much about where you learn to fly and your connection with your instructor as anything else. At Andrews’ Aviation, there are only two instructors, so if you like the idea of building a sense of trust and respect without swapping to a different instructor every flight, then Andrews’ Aviation is for you.

Between them, ‘the Andrews’ have half a century of General Aviation (GA) experience flying Single Engine Piston (SEP) and Multi-Engine Piston (MEP) aircraft around the UK and Europe VFR and IFR. They hold UK Part-FCL Flight Instructor (FI(A)) ratings and are approved to instruct PPL, LAPL, NPPL, IMC/IR(R) and Night Ratings; both Andrews hold full UK Part-FCL Instrument Ratings. They also hold FRTOL Examiner and Ground Examiner (GR(A)) certificates.

Andrews’ Aviation is grassroots stick ‘n’ rudder flying with two instructors who just love giving others the gift of freedom that is flying a light aircraft!

Andrews’ Aviation holds Declared Training Organisation (GBR.DTO-165) status with the UK CAA.
