Learning to Fly

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

FLYING rates include landing fees at Sywell; these can be a significant extra cost at other airfields, particularly when you are at the circuit flying stage of your training, when you will be making multiple landings each hour. You will rarely if ever be caught in any significant queue of other aircraft on the ground, which can be another hidden cost at other airfields. To train with us you will need to join the Flying Club as a full flying member; this gives you access to all the club's facilities including flying instruction, ground briefings, computers to log on to weather and planning information and use of the lounge as a social and meeting place. All prices include VAT and are current as of March 2010.
