WELCOME TO THE GRAMPIAN MICROLIGHT FLYING CLUB AT INSCH AIRFIELD The Grampian Microlight Flying Club (GMFC) was founded in 1985. At present, the Club consists of 31 members; both flex-wing and 3-axis microlight pilots. The Club is for anyone interested in the sport of microlight aviation. There is no Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) approved Flying Instructor for microlight training to National Private Pilots Licence level, NPPL(M). However, the Club does have numerous experienced pilots to offer advice to anyone thinking of taking up the sport, or to low airtime pilots. The Club has a BMAA authorised Microlight Inspector who can assist on issues such as aircraft maintenance and annual aircraft Permit to Fly renewals. Club Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month, starting at 7.30pm, in the clubhouse at Insch Airfield. If interested in joining the Club, please feel free to attend one of our meetings. Alternatively, contact the Treasurer for a GMFC Application Form (see Contact Us). The subscription fee is £20 per annum. The Club holds informal BBQs and fly-outs to other airfields during the Spring and Summer months. Hospitality is given to all visiting pilots, individual pilots, microlight group fly-ins, Round Britain Microlight Rally pilots, and notably Brian Milton. In 1998, bad weather forced Brian Milton to divert to Insch Airfield on the final leg of his historic flight, the first circumnavigation of the world by microlight aircraft. |
