Alexander Air Flight Training specialise in fixed-wing instruction, the school leverages its location at a major regional airport to give students practical exposure to controlled airspace and professional air traffic procedures without the prohibitive costs or operational delays often associated with larger commercial hubs. Favoured by its position in the lee of the Cairngorms, the airfield benefits from reliable flying weather year-round, allowing students to progress through practical flight lessons with minimal seasonal disruption.
The school offers a comprehensive suite of private and intermediate pilot training courses, including the standard Private Pilot Licence (PPL), and Night Rating. For pilots looking to enhance their all-weather capabilities, Alexander Air delivers specialised instrument training seven days a week, covering the Instrument Rating (Restricted) and the Competency-Based Instrument Rating (CBIR). In addition to formal licensing, the academy provides unique operational modules such as mountain flying, beach landings, FAA flight training, and refresher courses for returning aviators, along with general aircraft hire for qualified pilots.
