What is the Course?
A four-part course specially designed for disabled children to get a fascinating and exciting introduction to aviation and to boost everyday skills such as teamwork and organisation. The programme is run by Aerobility staff and volunteers and will give a participant both aviation knowledge on the ground and a test of their flying skills at the controls of a real aircraft.
You will learn about topics such as principles of flight, how to talk over a radio, what airfields need to be safe and how to navigate your aircraft through the skies. You will also then have the opportunity to put the theory into practice through multiple flights at the controls of one of our aircraft.
Who can apply?
Disabled individuals from the ages of 12-18.
When do applications open?
Applications for the next 2025 Junior Aspiring Pilots Programme will open soon.
When does the course take place?
The next courses will take place in the Easter Holidays 2025. Dates will be announced soon.
Does it cost anything?
Nope! The course is free to attend.

“Before the course I felt really anxious and had to step out of my comfort zone to experience this. But after the course I was super happy that I had done it!”
