FOR THOSE WHO ALREADY HAVE A PRIVATE PILOTS LICENCE
We own a Cessna 172 four seater aircraft based at Rochester airport. This aircraft is available to o
ur members for £120 per Tacho hour inc. fuel and VAT. This is far below normal commercial rates. The aircraft is well equipped including 2 VOR/ILS, DME, Transponder and panel mounted GPS. For dual training flights e.g. towards an IMC Rating or night flying Skytrek charge £60 inc. VAT per brakes off/on hour for their instructor. This means that dual flying in our aircraft costs around £160. brakes on/off hour.
As stated above we operate from Rochester airport, which has 2 grass runways based on chalk so they are seldom water logged. The airfield is relatively informal and is home to an interesting mix of aircraft from helicopters to microlights. There are 
no landing fees for our aircraft when landing at Rochester. Our host club organizes flyouts and various social events throughout the year. The airfield has a very active user group called Pilots & Friends of Rochester Airport (PAFRA). PAFRA organize various events including flyouts, social events for pilots, their family and friends plus speakers on various aviation topics.
