If you are committed to ‘going solo’ this could be the package for you. All your flight training, launch and airtime fees, and membership subscription is included in the package. When you become a solo pilot we would love to welcome you as a permanent member!

The package is particularly convenient to those who want to learn at a steady pace, spreading the training out, perhaps both during the week and at weekends. *Most of the training will be by winch launch - there is a limit to the number of aerotow flights allowed in the package.

As well as beginning your flying instruction, from day one you can expect to be actively involved in the workings of the club, including helping to get the aircraft out in the morning, ground handling, and helping at the launch point. We will introduce you to other members and help you settle in. Of course you will be very welcome to join in all the social events and other activities at the club – you will be a ‘full’ member for the duration.

On your first day you will receive our New Members Pack, including your personal flight logbook, progress and ground operations training cards, as well as detailed information about the club. The office staff, our instructors, and other members will make you most welcome and help you to become as confident and enthusiastic as they are!

We suggest you arrange your first visit with the office and we will arrange your instructor. Thereafter weekend ‘slots’ can be booked using our members’ on-line system, or on weekdays it is much more flexible, just turn up and join the list.

Some members devote the whole day, others do half a day – either arrive for breakfast, attend the 8:30 briefing, help get the ‘kit’ out, and spend the morning on the airfield, or arrive for the afternoon flying, and help pack everything away at the end of the day.  

Contact the office to discuss your requirments and to see if FPTS is the best route for you
