Hour building packages
We recognise that building your flight hours might be a significant investment when hiring an aircraft. Therefore, we offer special packages of block hours with 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100 hours and attractive hourly rates. The more you fly, the more cost-effective your hour building becomes.

If weather makes this impractical then we can extend the booking or you can book again, all subject to availability. We do not refund money for hours not used.

Can I base the aircraft at a different airfield?
Yes, you can base the aircraft at another airfield — bear in mind we offer competitive fuel and free parking at Fowlmere.
How long are the hours packages valid?
There is no time limit although if package prices rise then additional fees would become payable on hours not used within a reasonable period of time (3 months).
