Flight Club Options

Social or Flying

Social: From just £50/month you can receive updates and recent news on flights and maintenance, etc plus supervised access to the aircraft.
From £150/month or £1500 one off fee in addition to the above there is also a possibility of a subsidised cost share flight (not guaranteed). We sometimes have an empty seat and depending on your contribution there is a possibility (not guaranteed) of more cost share flights.

Flying: both options are no commitment, you can leave anytime without owing anything (costs may change – just contact us):

Option 1: fixed cost of £1400 per flight plus your fuel bill paid directly to the refuellers. To make it simple, 30-35 mins airborne flight costs £2000 total.
Option 2: £5000 joining fee, £300 flat monthly fee, cost of your own fuel and an equal share of maintenance costs.

A training flight cost depends on the current cost of fuel, oil etc.

This includes fuel, briefings, loan of equipment, etc. You can do aerobatics and get plenty of hands on time. If you decide that jet flying is not for you then there is no further commitment.

All flights are subject to the usual T&Cs – weather, fitness, aircraft serviceability etc. The costs are also subject to changes. Flights can be cancelled at a short notice by the pilot. All flights are private arrangements and not conducted in accordance with commercial air transport or public transport rules.

Jet Training / Conversion

Minimum Requirements

You must be over 18 years old, be in reasonable health and not suffering from any condition or illness that would render you medically unfit to fly in a jet. You do not need to be a pilot or have any previous flying experience to be a social member.

If you do want to undertake formal pilot training and fly the aircraft solo or with unqualified passengers then you will require the following as minimum: A UK CAA recognised fixed wing pilots licence and class 2 medical. Single engine piston is acceptable, however motor glider and microlight hours are at the discretion of the insurance company. Unfortunately the UK National PPL is not acceptable to fly jet aircraft. You will need to apply to the CAA for Training Aircraft Type Rating Exemption (1 page form), it is a very easy process and takes less than a week. The exemption is valid for a year.
