Costs

Flying costs can vary enormously from club to club, some include VAT, some instruction or a combination of both, others quote you for 'dry' time. 'Dry Time' means you pay the hourly rate for the aircraft and then add on the cost of the fuel used during your flying. What started out as a reasonable cost ends up being a lot more expensive than you thought or perhaps budgeted for.

At Westair we believe in keeping the charges clear and simple. The price you see is the price you pay per hour of flying time 'Wet', i.e the price includes the fuel used, with charges being broken down into 5 minute increments. Flying time starts from the moment the aircraft wheels move under your own power to the moment they finally come to a stop after the flight. There are no hidden extras, the rates shown below include VAT, fuel & instruction. The only additional cost is the landing fees.

Landings at just £10.68 including VAT for every aircraft! Our C-172 and Pa-28 can also be hired out for night or IMC training at just £164.80 per hour.
