Non-stop

In summer it's a great location from which to make your first cross country flights due to the flat landable terrain, and in winter we can stay aloft for hours, courtesy of the power station plumes and the mighty Pennine wave.

Prominent position

We are surrounded by major navigational features including the town of Selby to the North, Drax Power station to the East and the river Aire to the south east, this makes it easy for both trainee and solo pilots alike to always know their position whilst flying from Burn.
