WHANGAREI FLYING CLUB

Situated in Hangar 10 at Onerahi Airport is the Whangarei Flying Club.

The Club was inaugurated as the Northern Recreational Flying Club in March 2001 and expanded and strengthened in 2012 when the Northland Districts Aero Club, which was closing down its operation, invested its funds in the Club and the name was changed to the Whangarei Flying Club.

Having gone through some difficult times the Club now boasts 150 members, of which, a good number are active flyers. The pilots range from new students to pilots with thousands of hours – ages range from 14 to mid-nineties with many pilots aged from 60 upwards – age is no barrier.

The Club Patron, June Billings, is in her nineties and is still an active pilot of some skill. She is a Committee member of long-standing and is a most generous benefactor to the club.

A dedicated and forward-looking Committee has managed the Club into a position of strength over the last few years. The flying rates are by far the cheapest around, a fact which has attracted several student pilots from the Auckland city area who each come up for a day at a time, spending these days flying and taking exams.

Six volunteer instructors handle the training from an initiation flight to the gaining of passenger ratings, type ratings and license renewals. Subjects studied cover Aircraft Technical Knowledge, Meteorology, Navigation, Aviation Law and Radio Procedures.... READ MORE
