You might like to give the Newcastle upon Tyne Aero Club a ring. http://www.newcastleaeroclub.co.uk/

We are based at Newcastle International Airport in the north-east of England, a location which is ideal for both training and recreational flight.

The club operates 7 days a week and has its own instructors, fuel supply and maintenance facilities and a comfortable clubhouse restaurent and bar. Our members also enjoy some of the lowest cost private hire and pilot training in the country.

Unfortunately their site is still under construction with no price details.

According to local airfield in my area, it can cost on average $3000CND to lean to fly from beginning to end which is about 2000 pounds.

Simply a matter of luck. I knew you lived in the Newcastle area so I did a quick search on Google.

[atotti2000]

im seeing if i can find any small airfields in the area too.  :)Im sure someone would be willing to take me up if i offer to clean their plane. I cant seem to find any.
I know someone uses their 3 acre back garden as a runway for some homebuild but i havnt found their house yet. lol
is there any sites that i can search for these airfields  ???

[Hagar]

I couldn't find any myself but I don't know the area. There might be a list of flying clubs somewhere. I would try a magazine like Private Pilot. Or you could try the local Yellow Pages under Flying Clubs. Pleasure trips are fine, if you can get them & just want the experience. If you want proper flying instruction you would need to join a club. You might need to travel further afield to find somewhere cheaper.

eskimo, its more expensive in this country for most things, sadly flying lessons included.

ve even tried to see how much they are in guernsey, where i am going on holiday, since there is no tax on most things there.
unfortunately it was the same price  ::)
