About Sean

I'm a private pilot living in Sheffield and based out of Sandtoft airfield, occasionally flying out of Gamston too. As well as having my standard PPL licence I also have qualifications to fly at night and in poor weather. This is something that comes in very useful in the UK, where conditions can change significantly in the 1-2 hours between takeoff and landing! Watch a flight on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoGWcINOLOouHp1FhZ9l7Qg I qualified in 2021 and have been flying regularly and often since. I'm studying for the Airline Transport Pilot theory exams alongside a full-time job with the intention to become a part-time flight instructor at the weekends - a process which takes a couple of years. I'm usually only available on weekends due to my work schedule, but I also have some weekday availability during the evenings in the summer for a 6pm or 7pm departure time. If you want to check availability for a date not listed on the calendar please get in touch. I only accept flight requests from airfields where I am based, but will attempt to accommodate any special requests or routes as long as they are safe & legal. I can create a custom flight plan for you if none of the standard options suit. If you have any doubt, message in advance before booking.

Whitby & the North York Moors from Sandtoft Airfield

Excellent experience today with Sean. Sean was very informative and made my slightly nervous wife very at ease. Throughly enjoyed every minute including the brief stint of flying the plane. Would highly recommend and would definitely book further trips with Sean.

Whitby & the North York Moors from Sandtoft Airfield

Sean was friendly and very good at his job. This flight was a 70th birthday present from my family and I chose it because I have many happy family memories of my late husband and children visiting the Yorkshire coast, North Yorkshire Moons Railway and York. Sean’s flight plan took on board all these memories that I talked to him about and despite the visibility being a bit reduced at times made my flight a wonderful experience which I will treasure. Thank you Sean.

Picturesque Peak District from Sandtoft Airfield

What a morning with Sean. An extremely friendly pilot, who greatest us on time at the airfield. He guided us to the aeroplane and helped us board. We were soon underway and up in the air. Sean pointed out the land marks as we went around the Peak District allowing all the passengers to see the sights, turn his plane so both sides of the plane had a great view. We had a smooth landing at the end of the flight where we retired to the airfield cafe. What a fantastic pilot and a great trip sight see...

Whitby & the North York Moors from Sandtoft Airfield

My husband bought me a Wingly flight as a birthday present. I’d wanted to fly up the Yorkshire Coast as part of my bucket list. The flight was everything I’d dreamed it would be, and more. Sean spoke to my husband and tailored the flight to cover everything I wanted to see, it was just awesome. We landed hours ago but I’m still buzzing and grinning from ear to ear. Sean was a brilliant pilot, and it was breezy! I can’t thank you Sean for making my birthday experience and a big dream come true. H...
