Learn to Fly with the Humber Flying Club

The Humber Flying Club carries out a multitude of courses for pilots ranging from zero experience to Professional Multi Engine Class Ratings and ATPL. Details of the flight training courses currently on offer at Humber Flying Club are listed below with the approximate hours taken to complete. All the hours listed are MINIMUMS.

Private Pilots Licence

The basic licence where everyone starts. Most students take a few more hours to qualify, especially if the course is not done full time. Currently this course is offered on Cessna 150 aircraft.

Pre entry requirements

None, though it is recommended to get a Class 2 medical before starting or a Class 1 if you are going on to professional licences later. If you intend going for the new National PPL (NPPL), please see your own family GP. The medical for this is similar to the HGV class 1 for lorry drivers.

Course duration

Currently 45 hours flying under JAR, but AOPA have introduced a National PPL (NPPL) of 32 hours flying shortly to fill the void created by the more difficult JAR PPL. Now available at HFC. Please enquire at the HFC office for details.

End of course qualifications

JAR PPL and Radio Licence. The pilot may fly in good weather by day with passengers.

Additional Ratings - Night Rating

Qualifies the PPL to fly at night with passengers provided the pilot remains current. Pre start qualifications are 50 hours total and 25 hours P1.

IMC Rating

This rating is not recognised outside the UK. The qualification gives the privilege of flying in poor weather and making ILS approaches down to 500 feet above airfield level in visibility down to 1850 metres. Pre start requirements are 10 hours solo after PPL of which 5 hours must be point to point cross country. The course is 20 hours ground training plus 15 flight hours training with a ground exam and flight test. There is much debate in Europe about the IMC Rating. No doubt the arguement will eventually be settled.

Multi Engine Rating

After stopping this training for about 2 years, we are about to restart Multi Engine training. Please contact us for further details on this latest development. As usual, the prices will be very economical and up to our usual high standard.
