ABOUT JAC
The Jersey Aero Club (JAC) was formed in 1950 with the objective
to foster an interest in aviation. The objective has not changed
and the Club has evolved into one of the most impressive and best
loved clubs in the British Isles.
We have a fresh, modern Club House located at the end of Jersey
airport's runway. Downstairs you'll find our Flying Operations for
students and flying members plus General Aviation facilities for
private visiting pilots of light aircraft and a pilot shop.
Upstairs The Hangar Bar and Bistro offers delicious food and a
large balcony view of the runway. On-site Engineering is available
and they will gladly try to schedule maintenance to accommodate
your visit.
The Club is very proud of the hundreds of local and visiting
students who have trained with us. Many now enjoy a rewarding
career in aviation and others continue to enjoy the freedom and
interesting social life a J.A.R. Private Pilots Licence (PPL) can
offer.
Learning to fly in Jersey is unique because of its location and
rare blend of professional training in busy airspace with helpful
Air Traffic Controllers. All our cross country training takes place
over France (don't forget your passport!) and this gives pilots the
additional confidence to navigate and plan trips into international
air space. We have an impressive fleet of Piper PA28 & PA32
aircraft, and a high standard of instructors and a welcoming social
atmosphere for visitors old and new.
Each year we organise a variety of Flying Events and
competitions for novice and experienced pilots. Further details
will appear on this website or on the Members' Notice-board at the
Club House.
If you have an interest in Aviation you are welcome at JAC.
Membership can be offered on a temporary day basis or annually
depending upon your requirements. Please call our friendly Flying
Operations Team on +44 (0)1534 743990 for any further information
you need.
