Southport & Merseyside Aero Club

General information

The Club is based largely on a self-help philosophy with pilot members taking a higher degree of responsibility for the aircraft than perhaps would be usual in a club. Members are encouraged to keep the aircraft clean and tidy, properly fuelled and oiled, rather than leaving it to someone else. In that sense, it is operated more in the manner of a group owned aircraft.

Members often fly together, sharing costs and venturing further afield as a result. The aircraft is easily booked for entire days or even several days, with no formal requirement to fly a certain number of hours per day, making that long weekend in the South of France entirely feasible.
