What a super experience! The teamare all really friendly and helpful which was great as I was really quite nervous! I had my flying experience with Ted, who was my instructor for the experience. He was very patient and knowledgeable and took the time to make sure I was comfortable with what to do and to expect- so much so, that I forgot my nerves immediately! Thank you so much for a fantastic experience. Would highly recommend.read more

What a fantastic experience and made so by Claire and the team. Yesterday I did a flying experience with Claire as my instructor, which was brilliant. From the moment I arrived I was well hosted and the flight, instruction and whole experience was one I highly recommend. Claire made me feel at ease, made it so enjoyable and I did so much more than I had expected. Thank you so much.read more

I contacted Simon for a flying instructors course and was impressed from the start by his professional approach, Almats systems and response.. Of course it's when things go wrong that professionalism really shows. For reasons outside Simon's control it became impossible for the course to start on time. He went out of his way to get me settled elsewhere with a timescale that worked for me. I was very impressed.read more

I had really enjoyed the flight experience. It was my first time ever flying and the instructor was really helpful as well and everybody in the facility. Instructor gave me brief explanation and made me comfortable with the plane. Taking control of the plane and flying around was an incredible experience. Definitely would recommend flying with Almat Flying Academy.read more

Took a 30min introductory flight lesson with Neil, a seasoned Pilot and flight instructor, the lesson went by in a flash but was filled with tons of info and skills, along with a Great instructor. The C152 used was perfect for beginners, allowing for some leeway and simplicity to the flight, quite like the larger C172. Definitely would recommend and I may even be returning for a PPL!read more

Probably the best flying school in the region. Competitively priced and the staff and instructors have a sense of humour (just don't use words like impact and crash!)There's a fledgling branch over at Sywell tooread more

I booked a day in the life of a pilot, and I have walked away with so much knowledge!! My instructor Ali, (sorry if I spell your name wrong!) Was absolutely phenomenal. So positive, laid back and calm in his approach. Thank you for an amazing experience and I will be back to book again soon!read more

My son decided at the age of 13 that he wanted to be a pilot, he flew locally to us from the age of 13 to 15 landing and taking off on grass at a very small local airfield. Liam then needed to gain more experience and needed expert guidance. At 16 he was flying solo, we did originally try another school in Coventry prior to Almat Flying Academy but that was a total disaster. Coventry is not local for us but they have kept Liam in the air and nurtured him right to the end where he now leaves them only to finish his commercial pilots licence.We could not recommend this flying school enough and as a parent you can trust these not to keep milking your bank account unlike other flying schools.read more

I did the "day in the life of a pilot". It was such an amazing experience. My pilot Ali was really friendly and welcoming and made me feel really comfortable. He showed me how we create a flight route and the file a flight plan. Each step of the whole experience I was involved making me really feel as though I was a pilot! Everyone at the academy was so friendly and helped to make the day feel really special. The academy building and fercilities were well maintained and clean along with the aircraft so you know you are in good and safe hands. Thank you so much to everyone at Almat and my pilot Ali for making the day so memorable for me! Hannah Rhodesread more

Had booked a flying trial lesson for 45minutes. Showed up there expecting they'd just give me controls for a few minutes and that's it but man, what an experience. I was allowed to fly the aircraft for most part after we crossed the BHX airspace limits. James flew with me and what a kind and sweet guy, patient enough to explain all the details and answer all the questions. Even the reception service was one of the most friendly receptions I've ever had - kind and answer to the point. I might or might not take up a PPL but I'll never forget the experience that I had here being an Avgeek. Would definitely recommend everyone to give it a go, forget the price - the experience is worth everything you're paying for. I did have an issue with the video recording where the audio did not get recorded properly, but not that unhappy about it. If you have a GoPro, you can carry it, they have a holder on the aircraft where you can fix it(atleast the 152 I flew had it).read more

Absolutely first class trial lesson with Mark in the Cessna 172. Felt really safe after 30 minute briefing and a thorough run through of instruments etc. went through all the check list, taxied to runway hold, checklist. Took over controls after Mark took off, climbed to 3,000 feet, banked, left, right, descent, ascent and even some time 'free flight' as long as advised transitions I was about to fly. Joined the pattern left base, on to final and landed the aircraft, holding the flare advised by Markl.A truly memorable, brilliant experience and made so by the superb team at Almat. Highly, highly recommendedread more

I was one of those who got their flying lesson voucher on their birthday. I was pretty excited and arranged a lesson with Almat. All I was supposed to get was some basic navigating bordering on boring. This has all changed when I've met my flying instructor. Now within the 30 minutes of our time he has turned me into a MAN! Who can boast that they've done a barrel roll, inside loop, inverted flying up to 4Gs on their first lesson?! My expectation of an ordinary experience has turned into the most amazing! And he has even made a video of it for me and gave a voucher for a pint in a nearby pub! Thank you, Almat Aviation!read more

Wow, the pilot let me take off and have control of the plane for around 25-30 minutes. Very hot in the cockpit which couldn't be helped. Pilot was very informative about what was in the cockpit and a nice chap.read more

After beginning to get nervous on commercial planes I decided to have a flying lesson at Almat. My instructor Ali was brilliant at explaining the whole process, the pre-flight checks, what is going on in the air, and what pilots are looking out for, and of course how I was going to fly! He applied this information to commercial flying too and has very much set my mind at ease.The flight itself was incredible! I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. We saw plenty of the local landmarks, and I had control for most of the flight. Ali has a great sense of humour too!This is absolutely something I will do again, and I urge everybody to give this a go!read more

The team at Almat are all really friendly and welcoming! I've flown most often with Carmen, who was really reassuring and encouraging during my lessons. She let me take the controls from the first lesson and it's been good progress since then! I would highly recommend doing a flying experience and then get ready to get addicted to being in the air!read more

Really enjoyed a 30-minute aerobatic experience through Almat Flying Academy. Simon and Ben were super-organised on the booking and pre-flight briefing processes. Steve was a superbly capable pilot and made sure I felt ok after every one of the amazing aerobatic manoeuvres before moving on to the next. My favourite? The stall turn - the anticipation at the top and then the plummet straight down towards the ground - awesome! Thank you guys!read more

I was bought a lesson as a present an I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. On arrival the offices give a sense of confidence that this is a professionally run organisation. I was given a briefing which was suitably adapted to reflect my previous experience. Once in the plane I was able to control the taxi and have hands on during the take off. I then was in control until moments before landing. A great experience professionally deliveredread more
