✈️ Another great aircraft option for Augusta Flying Club members!

Meet N735UF, a 1977 Cessna 182Q Skylane—a capable, comfortable high-performance aircraft that’s equally at home on a training flight or a long cross-country.

Powered by a Continental O-470-U, the 182 offers a great combination of speed, payload, range, and stability.

A few highlights:

* ✈️ Cruise: approximately 135–140 KTAS
* ⛽ Fuel burn: approximately 11–13 GPH, depending on power and mixture
* 🧳 Useful load: approximately 1,100+ lbs (always verify with the current W&B)
* ⛽ 80+ gallons usable fuel
* 👥 Four seats
* 🎓 Excellent platform for high-performance and advanced training

And there’s more coming…

N735UF is scheduled to receive a brand-new instrument panel featuring state-of-the-art Garmin avionics, giving her a modern cockpit to go along with the proven performance of the Skylane.

Best of all, N735UF is available to Augusta Flying Club members at a special club rate of $240/tach hour.

Whether you want to earn your high-performance endorsement, build experience in a more capable airplane, shoot approaches, or take the family on a cross-country, N735UF adds another great option for our members.

Performance figures are approximate. Always use the aircraft POH and current weight-and-balance data for flight planning.

Ever wonder what 2½ hours of advanced flight training looks like? ✈️

Yeah… something like this. 😂

One of our Augusta Flying Club members recently traveled outside the area to work toward an advanced rating. Judging by the flight track, they definitely got their money’s worth.

But this is also something we really like about AFC: being a member is about more than having access to airplanes.

Our members are constantly building experience, earning new ratings, traveling, and bringing that knowledge back to the club. We have experienced flight instructors within our membership who can also provide instruction outside of club aircraft.

That means more experience gets shared, more questions get answered, and all of us have an opportunity to become better pilots.

Many pilots are better than one.

And judging by this track… this pilot should be really good at turns now. 😂✈️

Thinking about adding your Instrument Rating?

The Augusta Flying Club offers an affordable way to work on your IFR training without the traditional flight-school environment.

With IFR-equipped aircraft, local CFII instructors, and a group of pilots who are always willing to share experience and knowledge, it’s a good place to build real instrument proficiency—not just prepare for a checkride.

If you’ve been thinking about starting or finishing your Instrument Rating, reach out. We’d be happy to share how training through the club works.

Summer flying in Georgia means learning to work with weather. ⛈️✈️

Afternoon buildups, changing routes, deviations, and knowing when the right answer is simply not today are all part of becoming a better pilot.

One of the best things about Augusta Flying Club isn’t just access to airplanes — it’s access to other pilots.

Our members share weather reports, experiences, lessons learned, routes that worked (and ones that didn’t), and help each other make better decisions. Whether you have 100 hours or 10,000, there’s always something you can learn from the pilot next to you.

Flying is an activity where experience matters — and at AFC, you don’t have to rely only on your own.

Many pilots are better than one.

👀 Something new is coming to Augusta Flying Club…

For the first time in decades, our members may soon have some new options when it comes to flying.

We’re not quite ready to pull the cover off yet, but things are moving — and we think our members are going to like what’s underneath.

More capability. More opportunities. More reasons to fly.

Any guesses what’s hiding in the middle? ✈️

Stay tuned. Big things are coming to AFC.
