About British Young Pilots
BYP is the UK’s Nationwide flying club for kids and teens who dream big. Whether it’s flying solo at 16, earning a pilot’s licence, or just exploring the skies, we make aviation accessible — and insanely fun!
Our weekend and school flying clubs give young pilots a full aviation experience:
👩✈️ Hands-on aircraft and simulator sessions
🧠 Learning the basics of flying and navigation, from physics and meteorology to practical flying skills
🤝 Making friends and meeting like-minded individuals
🚀 Fun aviation-themed activities and lessons
📈 All New starters begin with our Wings syllabus, which takes one term. Students can then return to progress through our levels 1,2,3 and 4 courses, all spanning 2 terms each. By level 4, children will be at PPL standard.
We run clubs in schools and towns nationwide — spaces fill fast, so secure your child’s place today!
“Flying is an immense privilege, taking the controls of a small aircraft for the first time is an almost magical, life-affirming experience, it’s something no-one ever forgets. I created BYP to give that opportunity to young people. BYP puts aviation in reach, it makes flying an aircraft accessible and opens the door into the aviation world for the next generation.”
