Terms
We’re a flexible flight training organisation and club but do
have some basic terms we ask our students and members to be aware of.

Terms for flight training can be confirmed with the ops team.

10. The Captain of the aircraft has the right to cancel the flight of any participant who is in excess of 6ft 6 inches tall and/or 16st in weight. Should the participant exceed this restriction the flight will be cancelled and no refund given. Participants exceeding 6ft 6 inches tall and/or 16st in weight are strongly recommended to seek further advice from Yorkshire Aero Club prior to purchasing a voucher.
11. Participants should ensure that they are in good health and if in doubt should seek the medical advice of their GP before flying.
