Why Curtin Flying Club?

Based at Jandakot Airport, as a member of Curtin Flying Club you'll have access to some of the most modern aircraft at the the lowest possible rates. We are passionate about fostering the growth of aviation within the community and warmly welcome everyone to join. Whether you're a licensed pilot, a student in flight training, or simply someone who shares a love for aviation, there's a place for you at our Club. We offer flying memberships for pilots and student pilots, as well as social memberships for those who want to be part of a vibrant, aviation-focused community without needing access to aircraft.

Cost share with other members

We are a club committed to making flying fun and affordable. Just a reminder: we are not an aircraft hire company! As such, we expect members to look after equipment (you are now part-owner of an aircraft), and to be considerate towards other members. That means thorough inspection of aircraft before you fly and reporting any problems that may affect the safety or comfort of future flights. It also includes removing all rubbish and ensuring the aircraft is covered and tied down after each flight. Don’t forget the pitot tube cover!

Looking after your aircraft is vital to us keeping costs down.

At Curtin Flying Club, we encourage our members to make the most of our aircraft for training purposes. Whether you have an instructor or are currently seeking one, our modern fleet is ready for you. Step into clean, high-performance aircraft equipped with G1000 avionics, fully certified for both NVFR and IFR operations.
