Frequently Asked Questions

Q1 How much does a flying lesson cost?

A1 An introductory flight and up to two more lessons can be paid for with a voucher
purchased from the club. Vouchers cost €100 each and entitle the holder to a flight lesson of approximately 30 minutes.

After three lessons you need to become a full member of the club. The rate for members is €120 per hour for student pilots and €110 per hour for licensed pilots. The cost is pro-rata for times less than an hour. This price is fully inclusive of fuel, pre-flight
briefing and instruction.

Q2 Can I buy vouchers online or over the phone?

A2 If getting to the club is inconvenient, you can post a cheque for €100 to the
club with the name of the purchaser and the name of the recipient of the voucher and we post you a voucher as soon as we can. If you have a credit card, we can take your details over the phone and post you a voucher.

Q2 How much does membership cost?

A2 The cost of temporary membership is included in the price of a voucher. Full membership of the club costs €350 per calendar year (1^st Jan to 31^st December). A reduced rate of €175 is charged if you join for the first time on or after 1^st September.

Q3 Can I just call out to the club and take a lesson?

A3 Firstly, If you are not a member you need to fill out a temporary membership form and file this with the club. You may post it if necessary but it must be a signed hard copy (not email). Temporary membership forms are available at the club or in PDF form on the club website. Forms must be displayed at the club for a minimum of three days before membership can be approved. The committee meets about once a week to approve new temporary members so be sure to have your form submitted well in advance of your flying lesson.

Secondly, there is a booking system in place at the club where you can reserve a one hour training slot. If you wish to fly at a popular time, such as the weekend, it is possible you may have to book a couple of weeks ahead to get the time you want.

Q4 What are the club operating hours?

A4 The club is normally open from 6pm to 9pm on weekdays in the summer time and from 10am to 6pm at weekends all year. The club is staffed by members who attend voluntarily and typically have a day job during normal working hours. Since flying is dependent on reasonable weather conditions the club may be closed when weather is bad and outside daylight hours.

Q5 If there is no answer at the club, can I call someone listed on the web site to make a booking?

A5 Unfortunately not as they will not have access to the booking sheet which is held at the club. The only way to book a lesson is to contact somebody at the club by phone or in person.

Q6 I got a voucher as a gift – when do I have to use it by?

A6 Vouchers are valid for one year after the date of purchase.

Q7 I got a voucher as a gift but have lost it – can I still fly?

Q7 If you go to the club with as much detail as possible, such as who purchased the voucher, when it was purchased, etc, it may be possible to locate the record of the voucher sale and find the serial number. We will then do our best to arrange a flight although there is no guarantee that we can make this happen.
