Aircraft Hire

The whole Doncaster Sheffield Flight Training fleet is available to hire to our members at competitive prices. Our well-equipped, modern aircraft have the avionics, comfort, and speed to take you anywhere – whether you are hiring for an hour or two or going for a weekend away with family or friends. If you are a new member you will need to take a check flight with one of our experienced yet relaxed instructors, which is as much for your peace of mind as ours.

Why hire from a school or club at a small airfield when you can have the features of a full international airport for the same money? Doncaster Sheffield Airport (EGCN) operates 24 hours, has full Category 3 lighting, and has an ILS/DME or NDB/DME approach for those of you with an IR, CBIR, or IR(R). If you are inexperienced with dealing with a controlled airfield and Class D airspace, our team of instructors will gladly help you feel at home.

All prices quoted are inclusive of VAT, Fuel, and all landings here at Doncaster and are charged on a brakes-off to brakes-on basis.

The G-TD Flying Group

Ever dreamed about having your own aircraft? Well, unless you have the odd £40,000 to spare, then you are unlikely to purchase a nice Cessna 152 or Piper Warrior just for your own personal use. Even if you have the finances to do this, then there is the added burden that comes with aircraft ownership, such as routine maintenance, insurance, hangar or parking fees, unscheduled maintenance, avionics upgrades, engine funds, not to mention the time needed to administrate these things!

Our non-equity scheme allows you use of the aircraft as a syndicate owner. Basically you pay a monthly fee and an hourly rate based on your private use and then use it as your own private aircraft. The details are as follows:

• Annual DSFT membership fee: £85.00
• Monthly fee: £55.00
• Hourly flying rate: £125.00

That’s it! There are no further or hidden costs that you get with outright ownership or in equity groups – even home landing fees here at Doncaster are included. The group is limited to 10 members and booking is done online. Aircraft hire has never been better, cheaper, or simpler!
