Booked Flying

On Weekdays members can book whole days of instruction with the club's staff instructor(s):

• All bookings to be made through the office;
• A booking fee* will be charged to the flying account of all students attending booked flying sessions;
• A surcharge* will be applied to all launch and flying fees on these sessions;
• The booked Flying sessions will be from 0900 to 1700 or less on shorter days throughout the year;
• Throughout the summer (March to October) there will be 3 students per instructor;
• During the shorter daylight hours from November to February there will be 2 students per instructor;
• No booking fee will be payable if the student attends (or makes contact) and agrees with the instructor that the weather is un-flyable and ground school would not be productive;
• A cancellation fee* will be chargeable in the event of cancellation by the student if we are unable to fill the slot (or in the event of no-show);
• Students are expected to attend for the whole session. This is in order to allow them to work together as a team and achieve the maximum flying from the day;
• When a booking is made for motor glider exercises, there will be a booking fee* and no flying surcharge will apply. This is necessary because the club is unable to cover any costs from flying fees, which are paid directly to the Falke syndicate.
• * For details of the current booking fee, surcharge and cancellation feeds contact the office.

Questions and Answers

What if it's un-flyable?

Ground briefings will be organised by the professional instructor during un-flyable weather.

What if I use the services of a staff instructor on an ad-hoc basis?
