Stapleford Flight Centre (SFC), along with the airfield itself, is a privately-owned and family-run business.  Established in 1969, SFC has been training private and airline pilots for over forty years. 

SFC owns a fleet of more than forty aircraft ranging from Cessna 152 basic trainers to twin-engine aircraft such as PA23 Seneca, PA31 Chieftain and the brand new Diamond DA42 with glass-cockpit technology. See our fleet here.

We also operate modern flight simulators capable of replicating PA31, PA34, PA28 and the DA42 aircraft. Our own maintenance facilities ensure that aircraft are kept in top condition, with snags rectified promptly.

The airfield has both grass and hard runways for year-round operations and the Lambourne VOR is on the airfield.  We offer comfortable accommodation on the airfield including a licensed clubhouse and restaurant.

Perhaps more importantly than anything else, we are proud of the fact that Stapleford Flight Centre's ex-students now fly for operators all over the world. That record and our forty-year experience is your guarantee that;

• We know how ambitious you are
  
• We know how you feel about flying
  
• We know the importance you place upon the professionalism of your chosen school
  
• We know how to get the best from you
  
• We can ensure that you get the best from your chosen career

Why not come along to one of our open days? You can take a look at our training aircraft and facilities. You can meet our instructors. You can meet our students, ask them how they feel about SFC and decide for yourself.

We very much look forward to meeting you!

Captain Colin Dobney, Head of Training
