WHY SHOULD I BECOME A MEMBER?

Membership of the Redcliffe Aero Club offers many benefits.  Firstly, Redcliffe Aero Club has a proud history of over 36 years training pilots to all licence levels (many of our past instructors and students, are today flying with major airlines around the world) - our standards are high, but our rates are based on encouraging people to fly - after all we are a flying club!  

For students, you have the opportunity to train at some of the cheapest rates in South East Queensland, while at the same time receiving what we believe is the highest quality of pilot training in south east Queensland - a very high standard of training by dedicated and professional full time instructors.

For private hirers, your membership entitles you to also fly at discounted rates and we only charge by Tacho, meaning you don’t have to pay for taxiing time! We have a broad range of aircraft including a variety of high wing and low wing types which are all maintained to a high standard.

• Sealed runway with night lighting.

• Training area on doorstep – no time wasted transiting from aerodrome to training area.  

• Highly scenic flying – offering beautiful views of Redcliffe, Moreton Bay & Glasshouse Mountains Close to Brisbane, Maroochydore, Gold Coast, Amberley and Oakey Control Zones.

• Large clubhouse situated right on the airfield with an ideal view of activities in a relaxed environment.  

• A short taxi time means more time spent in the air – saving you money.

• Join as a Member

• Complete a check ride with an Instructor in the highest 'category' of aircraft you wish to fly with us. 

   

  • A C172N check does not qualify for a C172SP's check flight, unless you can demonstrate time in a SP model due to the substantial differences between the two models.

  •  C172SP check suffices for a C172N check flight with time on that model shown.

  For the latest info, please ask an Instructor when joining.
