Every pilot starts in a light aircraft
Whether you want to join an airline, fly warbirds, or fly yourself, whānau and friends around in the hydrogen or electric future, you need to start somewhere.
Wellington Aero Club has what you need to start your recreational or professional career…
Piper Tomahawk PA38
Our beloved and stalwart training aircraft…
2 seats
Dual controls for training
Aspen Evolution Electronic Flight Displays
112hp engines
90kts (166km/hr) cruise
Each can be hired at $245/hour plus a variable fuel surcharge. Please note that this does not include the instructor’s time.
Sometimes our four Tomahawks are joined by others to ensure we always have a capacity to match the needs of our students and pilot members.
The following Tomahawks based on the Western Apron have transformed many “ab initio” aspirants and pilot members of Wellington Aero Club into soloists and PPL holders and beyond…
ZK-TAWTAW is the Tomahawk you want to take home to meet your whānau. That won’t be possible until you’ve been awarded with your PPL, so best book another lesson : )
Take control…
Make the first flight of your flying career in one of our Tomahawks. Fly now, start here…
After you master a Tomahawk, the sky’s the limit…
