Vinka now available to club members

This content has been machine-translated from Finnish and may contain errors.

The club has leased the Vinka OH-VNP for members’ use. The idea is that it can be used for flying and aerobatic instruction alongside CBZ going forward. A training approval application has been submitted to Trafi and a decision is pending. Normal flights, aerobatic flights, and type flights on the aircraft can already be flown now.

It has been agreed that Hannu Halonen will provide type training to instructors who want to teach on the aircraft and fly type flights for club members. The insurance conditions set the following requirements for pilots: 100 hours total time, 20 hours within the last 12 months, no flight damage within the last 5 years, maximum age 74.

The aircraft will be added to the club’s booking system, and billing will go through Laskukierros as normal. The hourly rate for the aircraft is €470/h. The minimum billing is 15 min/flight.

The aircraft’s logbooks and keys are below the club’s aircraft bookshelf. The club’s parachutes are used for aerobatics in the aircraft. The aircraft will get its own headsets in early August; until then, use your own or ones borrowed from the club. The aircraft’s “Pilot’s Guide” and weighing certificate are in the file area of the club’s website (For Members/File Area/Aircraft Manuals/OH-VNP).
