Services for pilots
In addition to SFC's self-fly-hire services, qualified pilots can benefit from training with SFC to obtain additional ratings, improving skills and confidence. As a Civil Aviation Authority registered flying training organisation, SFC is authorised to carry out instrument (IMC) and night training and required examinations, as well as a safety pilot course and check rides. SFC provides the opportunity for hour-building in scenic surroundings, and offers refresher, cross-country and foreign training for qualified pilots whose licence privileges have lapsed or who wish to fly further afield.
