About Us

Our club

We are a Rangiora-based club promoting safe aviation and providing a dedicated community of friendship and support. We have comfortable facilities for use by our club members, including two large hangars in which members can house aircraft.

The club owns two 80hp Tecnam P92 Echoes (ZK-RGA, and ZK-RGC) and one 100hp Tecnam P92 Echo Mk II (ZK-RGE). We also have access through members to training in other 3-axis and weight-shift aircraft.

To fly our aircraft you will need a Microlight Pilot Certificate (or a PPL/RPL as long as you belong to the RNZAC). To get started you can contact one of our instructors who will not only teach you to fly, but also help you with the minimal paperwork.

Additionally, many of our members have built, or are building, aircraft, so there is a wealth of information and support available for those interested in aircraft construction.

If you would like to find out more about our club just come out one weekend, or contact us on Facebook.
