The Flying Clubs of the RAF...

[actechy14]

Hi all.

Looking to find out about the flying clubs. I wondered how/if they do pilot licences, and if so, how they go about doing this? I.e. what money i'd have to put forward, if it is done in working hours or weekends, etc.

Bear in mind that until the 13th of Feb I am not officially in service, and as such I do not have access to JPA or such like.

Cheers.

Google RAFFCA - RAF Flying Clubs Association. Most clubs are ELC providers. If ELC's are used then, here at Waddo at least, it is generally treated as a course. Info for Waddo club here: www.waddingtonflyingclub.com

BZN Flying Club also allow you to use ELC. Info here about the club:- http://www.brizeflyingclub.com/

Of note: ex-service membership is general across majority of RAFFCA/Service flying clubs - ELCs can be used for a good period past your exit date, still giving you the chance to gain PPL as a civvy using ELCs. Where exactly are you stationed/intend to be when you leave? You should contact you local club for further info...
