Why This Has Been a Great Summer at POM Flying Club
There has been a lot to celebrate at POM Flying Club recently.
In the last few weeks alone we have seen another student earn a Private Pilot Licence, others complete their Solo Cross Country Qualifying Flight, and our latest 16-year-old student take to the skies alone for the very first time.
Each achievement is different, but they all represent the same thing, progress.
Every qualified pilot started with a first lesson. Every first solo began with an instructor saying, “Today, you’re ready.” Every PPL holder once wondered whether they could really do it.
Flying isn’t just about learning to operate an aircraft. It’s about building confidence, judgement and skills that develop with every hour in the air. There is no shortcut, only the satisfaction that comes from earning every milestone along the way.
Perhaps the most rewarding part for our instructors is watching that transformation. Students arrive with curiosity and a little apprehension. They leave having achieved something many people only ever dream about.
If you’ve ever thought about learning to fly, there has never been a better time to start. Whether your ambition is to gain a Private Pilot Licence, fly for pleasure with family and friends, or simply experience aviation from the pilot’s seat, we’d be delighted to help you begin the journey.
For our existing members, these recent successes are also a timely reminder of why we fly. An hour in the air can be the best part of the week, whether it’s a local bimble, lunch at another airfield or exploring somewhere new.
Our students are progressing. Our instructors are busy. Our aircraft are flying.
Why not come and be part of it?
