Standard membership costs £15 a year

Existing PPL (or LAPL) holders (on Standard membership) fly @
£171.00 + VAT = £205.20 per tacho hour.
(A "tacho hour" is measured by an instrument linked to the engine's rev counter, or tachometer.)
Pilot training is conducted by our hosts at Rochester - Skytrek Flying School - but lessons may be taken in our C-172 aircraft as shown opposite. It's a 4-seater so its extra space and seat adjustments mean many will find it more comfortable than the smaller 2-seaters often used for training. That, plus the fact it's the aircraft you will fly with us when you have your licence, means that overall it can be a more effective learning platform (than a 2-seat C-152).
​
CSFC's flying rate for student pilots in our aircraft is £155.00 + VAT = £186.00 incl VAT. This is a brakes off/on hour to coincide with the entries in a student's log book. ADDITIONALLY Skytrek will levy a fee for their instructor plus administration of the training. This is currently £60 per brakes off/on hour (incl VAT).
​
The total for a 1 hour (brakes off/on) lesson (using the CSFC aircraft but Skytrek training facilities) is therefore £246.00.

Complete 5 lessons in our CSFC aircraft G-WACW (Standard Membership tariff) and get 50% off aircraft hire for the 6th.
Lessons must be completed during 2024 and offer limited to first 6 lessons as a student pilot (not for post PPL/LAPL training).
Aircraft hire is £155.00 (excl VAT) per brakes off/on hour so 50% = £77.50 and the cost of that 6th hour becomes £153.00 (fully inclusive of VAT & Skytrek instructor fee).
