About Us
Pilot training and aircraft hire at Fowlmere Airfield
Who we are
We live, eat and breathe flying
British Aviation Academy is a CAA and EASA audited ATO at Fowlmere Airfield, Cambridgeshire (SG8 7SH). We train pilots from first lessons through PPL and LAPL, night and instrument ratings, modular CPL, upset prevention and recovery, formation flying, and instructor qualifications. We share the same team, fleet and airfield as British Aerobatic Academy — a sister brand focused on competition aerobatics, spinning and display training.
