Flying Clubs: What to Look For Before Joining One


There are many flying clubs you
can choose from but to get
the most of the club, you
have to consider the following:

planes and are they approved
by the Aviation Authority of
the country? Join a club that
at least has the planes you are capable of flying.

2. Check the infrastructure and facilities of the club; is
there a runway and a hangar? Also, get a club that is
located close to town and has games and entertainment
amenities as well.

3. What are the qualifications of the club's flight
instructors? Are their licenses current and do they have
passion for what they do? Good instructors can be very
helpful and will help you understand the principles of
flight as well as other fundamentals you may not be
proficient in.

4. What is the ratio of the student pilots to the
airplanes? International flying clubs usually ensure
each student has his own plane as well as flight
instructor to give him unconditional personal attention.

5. The club should be following the rules and regulations
set up by the Aviation Authority of the country. It should be
highly reputed and have a good history with the Aviation
Authority.

select a good flying club. It is
important to talk to some members
of the club you intend to join. Also,
read newspapers, magazines and other
flight information regarding flight
clubs. You should have an idea on how

schedule will be in tandem with your
