Tom Hay

Chief Flying Instructor

 

Tom has a real passion and enthusiasm for aviation, especially flying training and teaching. If he’s not in an aircraft you can usually find him talking about flying to anyone willing to listen. Having a customer-focused attitude with a patient manner and a drive to deliver the best possible experience to students, allows them to get the most out of their lessons. But don’t take it from us, hear what some of our customers have to say about him here.

Tom started flying in his early teens with his Dad and this was the spark that further ignited his passion for aviation. He went on to learn to fly fixed wing microlights, soloing at 16 and getting his pilot licence just after his 17th birthday, even before getting his driving licence.

Starting his career in aviation as an apprentice with David Young at Kemble Flying Club, at just 20 years old he attained his flying instructor (restricted) rating on both fixed wing and flexwing microlights.
