Meet the newest member of our fleet – C152 GPTTD!

Fly our Cessna 152 for only £173.00 per hour dual rate!

The newest -and possibly ‘cutest’- member of our fleet, C152 G-PTTD (‘Tango Delta’) is available now for training flights!

The 2-seater cousin of our standard Cessna 172’s, and priced at only £173.00 per hour (dual rate) this offers a significant discount for our members.

Much like the Cessna 172, the Cessna 152 is widely viewed as an excellent trainer, particularly due to their honest, ‘no nonsense’ handling.

 

Powered by a 110-hp (82-kW) Lycoming O-235-L2C piston engine, Tango Delta is perfect for basic training, hour building, VFR navetc, this nifty little aircraft lends itself to both student pilots and PPL holders alike.

 

Trying to get to grips with those pesky landings? Want to save money or simply fancy something different? (whilst adding a new type to your logbook!)..

Then this is your aircraft!

Introducing.. Latest additions to our team

Over the last few months we have been delighted to welcome some new and talented instructors to our team. Namely, Pete Hughes (also flies Tiger Moths and a former differences student of ours), Joff Hicks (based out of Seething and Old Buck and most recently, Garth McCormick from Belfast.

Garth has been based in Manchester for the majority of the last 20 years having learnt to fly at Newtownards in 2008 and says of his varied career to date:

“my low boredom threshold means that at various times I have worked as an economist, astrophysicist, civil servant and, most recently, physics teacher.”

Having studiously avoided photographs all his life, you will have to come and meet Garth in person!

As many of you are aware we have had several success stories recently with many of our instructors heading off to ‘proper jobs’ in the commercial aviation sector. Sam Keogh, Stef Gonzalez to Iberia Airlines, and of course Jay Sadri (former company instructor) is busy with his type rating for Titan. Although you may see Jay every now and then knocking out some loops in the Extra 200..

We feel that we have just the right combo of old and new (in every sense!) with our instructors and are also able to offer an environment where you can have informal chats with both commercial pilots (such as Mark Evans, Rob Bryce Smith, Arwyn Jones) and those currently undertaking commercial training (or soon to be!) – Invaluable to student pilots!

We are thrilled to have such great additions to our rich and diverse team with an ever growing and varied skills base. Everything from PPL through to advanced training in Aerobatics, Tailwheel and the instrument rating on our CBIR course.

Last but not least our newest administrator and fellow PPL student Sarah Glover is settling in a treat! 🙂

So next time you’re in look out for one of our new guys and gals!

‘Aero Abroad’ voyage!

Airways & IFR for our maiden ‘Aero Abroad’ voyage!

In the spirit of adventure and to celebrate GMEGS new DME we would like to invite Pilots considering the CBIR course to join us on an Airways adventure to Weston(EIWT), Dublin in early May!

In the mix with commercial traffic!

This flight is an opportunity to  see first hand how an airways flight is planned, conducted, and accomplished!

Our destination has been carefully selected by Ed, as it merits a number of advantages in its location for lunch and tourist activities.

The total distance of the route is 269nm, which is just 6% greater than the great circle distance! Estimated flight time is 2:40 each way in still air.

As with all Aero Club away-days we aim for one ‘Student’ pilot to fly outbound, the other return & hope to plan a date in early May – if you are interested please let us know!

This trip is only available to those seriously considering the CBIR, and should already hold the IMC/IR(R).

A reminder, the CBIR course leads to a full IR rating which

~ is recognized throughout Europe, unlike the IR(R)

~ allows access to airways and all classes of airspace.

~ permits approaches to a minimum cloud base of 200ft & 800m visibility.

The CBIR can be completed in as little as 10 hours of formal ATO flight training for pilots that do hold an IMC/IR(R) and have experience of IFR in their logbooks. For those that don’t the full course is 40 hours in duration. This trip would count towards that IFR experience.

For further information about this trip or to find out more about the CBIR just speak to a member of the team!

Cambridge Aero Club launches new Cessna Checklist!

We are thrilled to have taken delivery of new checklists for our standard Cessna172 fleet.  These will soon be rolled out to members and replace our current A4 sheet style checklist.
This brings us into line with guidance from EASA within the AMC1 – NCO.GEN.105c requirement that the manufacturers checklist shall be used.
Those eagle-eyed amongst you will have seen that we already carry the Cessna published checklist in each of our aircraft.

 

To ease students in learning the new layout these new A5 size booklet checklists are available free of charge!
PPL holders can either purchase one at £3.50 each or use the Cessna one in the aircraft.
