Members are invited to join us at the club for a talk by Jersey Met.

This is an opportunity to get an update on the services they provide before looking at the Channel Islands Aviation Forecast in detail and exploring the following areas of meteorology:

• The earth’s atmospheric circulations and how these create air masses and fronts which are shown on the Aviation Forecast chart.
• How these different air masses drive the local weather.
• Aviation hazards such as aircraft icing, turbulence and thunderstorms.
• The types of fog that affect the Channel Islands and why this happens in certain conditions.
• A look at the TAF (Terminal Aerodrome Forecast) that we produce.
• A preview of our new website and any preferences pilots might have in the future to help with GA activity

There will be something interesting for everyone!

The Jersey Aero Club is pleased to announce that flying training and light aircraft handling are now fully open.  This has been achieved with the help of our colleagues at Synergy Aviation and Ports of Jersey.

• Visiting pilots may now be handled at the Aero Club as part of a joint venture between the Jersey Aero Club and Synergy.
• Ab Initio/Recurrent/Renewal Flying training has re-commenced utilising two of Synergy’s PA28’s based at the club. Synergy has a refurbished Cessna 152 joining later this summer and will be adding further aircraft as needed.

For any queries on handling or flight training, please call Synergy on: 01534 743990 or email:  jersey@flysynergy.com 

• The Bar/Café has re-opened from Wednesdays to Sundays 10:00 to 16:00, but we hope to extend these hours in the near future.
• Evening curry nights and barbeques are planned throughout the Summer.  We will be hosting evening talks from various celebrities and organisations. 
• We have refurbished the Flying room, Bar and toilets so it all looks a lot brighter as does the future.

We are delighted to announce that the CAA have now provided the necessary approvals for our training partner, Synergy, to commence ab-initio flight training. Please see below a message from Glen Heavens, owner of Synergy Aviation

Following a lengthy process with the Authorities we are delighted to announce that we have been granted permission to commence Ab-Initio flight training in Jersey with immediate effect!
Whilst we can offer training with immediate effect, as you are aware COVID has delayed our plans for the refurb of the flying room and installation of our computer systems etc. In the short term please email jersey@flysynergy.com and our Fairoaks team will make bookings and liaise with instructors.
We are moving ‘full steam ahead’ and aim to have our local team in place asap!
