Welcome to the Ulster Flying Club  The Ulster Flying Club (UFC) was founded in 1961 and over this period has grown to become Northern Ireland's largest flying school and one of the largest, non commercial training, flying organizations in Ireland.
Since commencing operations from Newtownards aerodrome the UFC has established itself as a leading provider of aviation services, ranging from trial lessons to PPL training, night ratings to IMC all provided in a friendly and welcoming environment. Microlight lessons are also available from the Ulster Microlight Centre, an aviation partner of the UFC.
All instructors with the UFC are trained to Civil Aviation Authority highest standards and combined they fly over 2500 instructional hours each year, no mean feat. Hand in hand with an impeccable safety record the UFC can be proud to provide safety minded and experienced staff, to make your time with us as enjoyable and trouble free as is possible.
 So why not come along and see the wide range of services provided at the Ulster Flying Club, you can view the airfield from our picnic area situated at the front of the Clubhouse and we are sure you will be bitten by the "flying bug!"

A Message From the Chairman |
|
We have had our first committee meeting since last months elections and have embarked on several projects that we believe will benefit all members of the UFC. In order to improve communication we will be putting on the web site the main points, agenda items that were discussed at these meetings. Martin will have the first of these news sheets up on the notice boards at the weekend. Please feel free to use the website to raise any concerns or issues you may wish to raise for the commiittee (by email or the discussion forums ). We have made good progress on letting the empty space in the clubhouse and hope to let you know more specific details in the near future. |

While we try to report as much news as possible on the website there is a lot happening at the club that we don't necessarily hear about. For example, have you just finished building or restoring an aircraft? Have you been on a noteworthy trip?
