6.    Hangarage and Base Landing Fees: 

The aircraft are hangared at North Weald. In addition, all landings at North Weald are also included in the monthly and / or hourly charge

7.    Exclusive use of crew room, briefing room, lounge, toilet and kitchen facilities:  

The syndicate has exclusive use of the facilities owned by Area 51 and available on the south side of North Weald airfield. These include briefing and crew rooms, a kitchen, shower and toilet facility. The environment in which you fly must be conducive to safety and comfort. This facility will allow members of the syndicate and their guests to enjoy the whole experience of jet operation, not just the noisy, fast and exciting bits.

8.    Full training to include:

Although conversion to jets is a relatively simple process, it is crucial that it is completed in a safe and ordered manner. Included in your monthly fees is all the instruction that you will need need to operate any of our aircraft. Should you wish to progress to more adventurous flying such as aerobatics and formation flying, we arrange regular schools for our members, but for which the may be a charge to cover the extra expense incurred by the company. Everything from pre-solo to advanced aerobatics can be covered as required by you and you will find a good balance between safety, our first and most important concern, and appropriate training for the way that we and you will operate the aircraft in the civilian world.
 
9.    “First flight” aircraft preparation to include:

The aircraft are hangared when not in use. Included in the price that you pay is a “First Flight” service. This includes taking the aircraft out of the hangar and a thorough pre-flight check, performed by one of the engineering staff of Area 51. Nitrogen for tyres and accumulators, ground power for the first engine start of the day and oxygen if requested will all be done as part of this check. From a safety point of view, this ensures that the aircraft are looked at by an engineer as well as pilot on a regular basis.
 
10.    “Last flight” aircraft service:
 
When the last flight of the day is complete, the aircraft will be towed back to the hangar and put away until it is required again. Once again, this means that our engineering staff are in constant touch with the aircraft and any snags that occur.
 
11.    Booking system:
 
It is not expected that availability will be a problem in the group. Experience of running a jet syndicate over the last 3 years, shows us that with 10 members per aircraft, utilisation remains at a very acceptable level. In any event, we will run a booking system through the administration at Area 51 to ensure that your booking requests are gathered and input to a system. This system should also be available on the syndicate website for those who prefer more modern access.
