Skylark Aviation Ltd own and operate a de
Havilland DHC-1 Chipmunk 22A which is available to members of Prestwick
Flying Club for ab initio instruction, tailwheel conversions, aerobatics and
PPL hire.
The Chipmunk replaced the venerable Tiger Moth as the RAF's basic trainer
and remains a very popular aircraft. Its exceptional flying qualities are
seldom surpassed by more modern types, and its tailwheel configuration
allows pilots to develop better airmanship and "stick and rudder" flying
skills.
The current rate for club members is £124.00 per hour.

Pioneer Flying Company
Scottish Aviation Flyers
|
|
SAF (Scottish Airways Flyers Ltd) is a group of approximately 40 pilots
which owns and operates a Piper Archer 11 (180hp) based within Prestwick
Flying Club. Each pilot is a shareholder and owns an equal share of the value
of the aircraft and any funds held by the group. The number of shareholders
can vary from time to time as shares are sold or traded.
Our Archer, G-BVNS, is a real go places touring aircraft for 4 people and
has been as far a field as Bergen in Norway, Texel in Holland and various
airfields in France. The current flying rate is £90 per hour and there is an
annual charge of £480 to cover fixed costs such as insurance, maintenance etc.
The purchase of a SAF share allows you to fly at a rate which is far less than
hiring an aircraft equivalent to G-BVNS. A typical share price can be in the
region of £800 - £1000 but this can vary and is only a guide.

South Side Flyers
|
|
Standard cruise 100 mph on 11
liters per hour.
G-CENW is group owned by 6 shareholders known as 'Southside Flyers'.
A share usually costs £5,500. Shareholders
also pay a monthly Standing Order of £45 This covers 'Fixed costs'
such as Insurance and Maintenance - a mandatory payment regardless as to how
often you fly - the more you fly the lower the overall hourly cost in a year.
Flying rate is £24 per hour - primarily to cover fuel, oil and engine
replacement fund.
Shares are sellable if a member wishes to move on and are negotiable with a
new buyer - and, within reason liable to the sanction of the rest of the Group
as regards the new member. Southside Flyers don't have a Prang Fund - it
has been agreed that each member will put their hand in their pocket to pay a
share of any Insurance excess should someone be unlucky. Occasionally we have
to fork out if maintenance costs exceed that which we have in the Funds.
