About Us

Turweston Flying Club based at the Turweston Aerodrome is owned by Mike Robinson, Eddie Towndrow, Simon Braithwaite and Paul Shenton. Mike has been at Turweston for the past 10 years and has 26 years of instructing experience, amounting to over 11,000 hours spent teaching in the air!!!

Mikes obsession with aviation began at the age of 14 when he joined his local Air Cadet Squadron and he has since passed the ‘bug’ on to his two children. The proudest moments in his aviation career were sending his daughter solo on her seventeenth birthday and following an age reduction by the CAA his son solo on his sixteenth birthday.

Mike is keen to teach all ages of student pilots and it is now possible to log hours towards the PPL from the age of 14, however Mike has also taught more mature individuals, his eldest student to date being 80. Mike has vast experience teaching men and women of all ages to fly, all lessons are all tailored to meet individual students and are planned around enthusiasm, progress and pennies!

Mike is also keen to teach students the importance of safety when in and around the aircraft. He is committed to only flying in the optimum weather conditions to ensure students make safe and practical progress throughout their PPL course. Unlike some other teaching institutions Turweston Flying Club will not put you at risk at the expense of your wallet and confidence!
