FAQ
Answers for You
How much do you charge?
We charge £120 per hour for the aircraft calculated to the nearest five minutes, that means if you fly for only 50 minutes, that's what you pay for. If you land somewhere other than Leuchars you will be responsible for paying any landing fee directly to the airfield operator.
If you need an instructor, they will charge £30 per hour in addition to the aircraft fee. As with the aircraft, charges are pro-rata but with a minimum charge of one hour. Ground school, if needed, is charged at the same rate.
Do you charge a membership fee?
The membership fee is £120 per annum. We do not charge membership fees for trial flights and passengers are exempt, although they will still have to join as temporary members for the duration of their flight.
How do I pay?
We prefer payment by electronic bank transfer, since this is the easiest and quickest way. We will provide you with our bank details when you fly with us.
