We work hard to provide a supportive environment for not just our students, but our existing members who may need advice.

Our Fleet
In the past year we have changed our training fleet to two Piper Tomahawks. This comes after many decades of running a Piper Cherokee as our main trainer.
The main benefits of changing to the Tomahawks were the reduced fuel burn and the fact the Tomahawk was built to be a true training aircraft. Our instructors and students love the Tomahawks!
While both our Cherokees are being retired, we are retaining our Piper Archer for members who want something a little bigger to take their friends and family flying!
