The RRFC is pleased to offer Trial Instruction Flights (TIF) at the dual aircraft hire rate. Your instructor will gladly provide a pre-flight brief, a 30-45 minute dual flight in one of our training aircraft and a debrief afterwards. You will sit in the command seat and experience basic flight manoeuvres with a fully qualified instructor right beside you. And yes, you will get to take the controls – it’s a great way to decide if flying really is for you!
The Club conducts limited flying training (under a CASA Part 141 License) to Private Pilot License level, as well as other common ratings and endorsements.
To minimise interruptions to military air activity, the Club operates Friday afternoons, Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays, but may fly at other times subject to instructor availability, weather and approval from Air Traffic Control. The Clubhouse is well organised with all the facilities needed for flight preparation.
The Club maintains a small fleet of single-engine aircraft for private hire by members and hosts BBQs, fly-aways, airshow visits, safety days, and other social activities.
If you already have access to the Base, the best way to organise a visit is to use the ‘contact us’ tab, fill out your details and one of our committee members will arrange a meeting at the clubhouse to see what’s on offer.
