Curtin Flying Club

Curtin Flying Club Become a member of Curtin Flying Club and you will have access to our quality Cessna aircraft at the cheapest advertised hire rates in Perth! Well now you can!

You don't need to have an affiliation with Curtin University to join. Ever wanted to own your own fleet of Cessna aircraft? Become a member of Curtin Flying Club and you will not only have access to our quality Cessna aircraft at the cheapest advertised hire rates in Perth (and possibly Australia), you will become part-owner of your very own modern fleet! We love flying and want to take to the ski

es as affordably and safely as we can. To achieve this, Curtin Flying Club operates as a registered non-profit organisation and updates its aircraft on a regular basis. Because each member effectively owns a little piece of their own aircraft, they are expected to take pride in their fleet and treat their fellow aviators with respect. To this end, you will need to demonstrate your flying skills and show a commitment to the club (including looking after your aircraft). Don’t worry if you have low hours or haven’t flown for a while – we can team you with a qualified instructor to get you up to speed (and in the air) in no time! There’s even a social membership option. With a long and colourful history in Perth’s aviation scene, Curtin Flying Club commenced operations in mid-1975 with a leased Cessna 150. It now owns and operates two modern Cessna 172SP aircraft that are among the best value in Australia. Our planes are based at the Royal Aero Club of Western Australia (RACWA) at Jandakot Airport in Perth, Western Australia. Membership is open to any licensed pilot or social member approved by the committee. Curtin Flying Club is now proudly affiliated with the University Flying Club, giving our members access to even cheaper flying in the club’s brand-new CSA PiperSport Light Sports Aircraft (LSA), another glass-cockpit gem.

Kalgoorlie - Jandakot - The final day

Woke up to have another try and finishing the final leg to Perth. Weather was better but not by much. 35kt headwind and gusting. It took us over 3 hours to get home. Rain and low cloud most of the way, but we loved it.

Amazing trip with a great bunch of people. Thanks RACWA for organising, thanks Anton for being great company and thanks to KXW for being ever so reliable. Get ready for next year, get a crew together and take one the aeroplanes away. I hear it might be Longreach.

Forrest to Kalgoorlie

Early start to beat the front heading East. VFR flight at 2500 feet to try and deal with the headwind. Not much luck, GS as low as 80 knots. Heaps of turbulence during the last 2 hours. Glad that one is over.
Decided to stop in Kalgoorlie for the night, weather too marginal to continue. A backpackers room at The Palace Hotel is home tonight.

Adelaide to Forrest

After working out how to fly the SID from Parafield (not that hard) we departed in a 600 foot cloud layer and set course for Ceduna. In and out of clouds for the first hour then the sky opened up. Quick fuel stop at Ceduna and then onto some coastal flying along the Great Australian Bight. A must, if you haven’t done it yet. Stayed low all the way to Forrest. 6 hours of flying today. Once again Forrest was a god send. Met more great people flying the other way.

Kangaroo Island to Adelaide - Day 6

Short trip of 40 minutes today, heading to the big smoke. Called Adelaide TCU, booked a slot and managed to get the Hope Valley VFR route which is essentially the Adelaide city scenic route. I was flying and Anton was working the maps, we managed to navigate our way through controlled airspace and ended up at Parafield.

Most aircraft we parked next to appeared to have been parked for quite some time. Start heading back west on Monday.
