I’ve received tuition in many fields from IT to various sport disciplines. Sell is likely the best instructor I’ve had the pleasure of being instructed by. Patient, encouraging, very personable, loads of flying experience and above all, his passion for flying is contagious. Training in a relaxed (as much as a it could be) yet focused manner is something super special. I’ve loved every minute of my intensive PPL training with Air Academy. Hours of intense focus, literal highs & lows it’s been worth every penny. Would recommend Air Academy all day long and would be happy to talk to anyone considering embarking on their PPL adventure with AA. Best adventure ever... & plenty more to look forward to. ️️️️️ without hesitation. Am looking forward to more training next summer.

Having completed my PPL training with Air Academy I would strongly recommend this flight training school to anyone wishing to study towards gaining their PPL license. Sell is a highly professional, skilful, knowledgeable and friendly instructor. He was always available to provide me with support and to answer any questions that I may have had. He structured the training in a very personal and progressive way, which enabled me to make the most of the PPL course. It was a great experience all round. Thank you Sell

I did my PPL at Air Academy which I completed this year in August 2015. The instructor Sell is very patient and is always on hand to explain and guide you through the various stages. As he works independently he is very flexible when it comes to flying, he is happy to work around students schedules and provides a good range of flying hours. I am glad I did my PPL here as not only is it a great price for a PA28 it is also a very relaxed atmosphere and studying with Sell was a great pleasure. Thanks to Sell I am now doing my Commercial pilots licence. I highly recommend this school.

Booked a 1 hour Training Flight Lesson for my partners birthday. Mentioned I would be travelling down from Birmingham to London and Sell allowed me to book Saturday as a back up which was lovely of him to do.

My partner had a great time flying over Silverstone!

Sell was very informative, friendly and made us feel comfortable.

I would definitely recommend this experience to friends/family.

Thank you once again Sell!

I enrolled into Air Academy’s accelerated PPL and IMC Rating flight training programme at Elstree in 2023 under instructor Sell Tahsin, who was nothing short of exceptional. With decades of instructing experience under his belt, Sell brings a wealth of aviation knowledge and a genuine passion for teaching to every lesson. Throughout the course, Sell demonstrated remarkable patience and adaptability, tailoring each lesson to suit my learning style and pace. Whether it was mastering basic manoeuvres or tackling more complex flight scenarios, his ability to break down concepts into digestible chunks made the learning process both engaging and effective. The quality of teaching resources and simulator facilities at Air Academy is also impressive. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to have learnt from Sell, because of his professionalism, encouragement, and commitment to safety - I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking top-notch flight training at Elstree Aerodrome.

I did my accelerated PPL here (in less than 2 months). Sell is a very competent and experienced instructor, as a result I was very well prepared for the Skills Test with the examiner and passed without issues. They are flexible with regards to flight lessons and will be able to work around your personal schedule, you can also sit the new e-exams with them at a time convenient for you which is a big plus. Overall I had a great time and can't wait to continue flying as now certified pilot.

Review by Cord Stiens

Having just passed my skills test, the whole experience of learning and finding my limits and having Sell there to guide me through the process has been one of the best experiences in my life.

Sell does everything professionally and in a safe manner. He is kind to many mistake I made and knows where to push and where to let me learn on my own!

Highly recommend! Good luck Sell!

I wish to thank Sell Tahsin of Air Academy for a wonderful flight trial lesson for my friend Medhi,  and his 14 year old daughter yesterday, at Elstree Aerodrome,    

offered as a courtesy gift by me.

They thoroughly enjoyed their “once in a lifetime experience” in your Piper 28 aeroplane, and later said it was unforgettable.

Thanks once again.

Best regards and wishes.
