Cheap Flying |
||
|
Tayside Aviation can offer cheaper flying at Perth in the Skyfox Gazelle which is an Australian built two seater powered by the Rotax 912 engine as is fitted to the Katanas operated by the company. The Gazelle is delightful to fly and the PPL rental rate is £59/hour and £69/hour for dual flying both rates are inclusive of VAT and landing fees at Perth. Another cheapy is the Tipsy Nipper which is operated as a group aircraft from Dundee, and a share in the group is £666 which can be returned if the group member decides to withdraw. The single seat Nipper is powered by by the Barry Smith VW conversion which is cleared for inverted flying and is charged out at £40 per hour inclusive of VAT and landing fees at Dundee, Perth and Fife (Glenrothes) Airports. The Nipper was the first aircraft owned and operated by Tayside Aviation when the company was original formed as Aerosport Limited in February 1968 and was repurchased last year. The Grumman AA5 which is based at Dundee is also good value-although it has four seats it is charged at the same rate as the two seater's- £109.80/hour for training and £97.80/hour for rental. It is weight restricted and is therefore not a full four seater but will take three adults or two adults and two children comfortably. |
