PMB Aero Club
Description
The Pietermaritzburg Aero Club is an independent, nonprofit organization aimed at fostering aviation in general and at providing flying to its members at the lowest possible rates.
The Club operates a fleet of modern aircraft which is reviewed from time to time in keeping with its changing needs. In general, flight training is conducted on a two-seat high-wing Cessna 150 trainer or our new Jabiru fiberglass airplane, and full-time instructors are available throughout the week and weekend. Our Chief Flying Instructor, Mel Barker has been instructing at the club for the past 30 years. For licensed pilots and advanced pupils a number of four-seater Cessna 172’s are available.
The Club is based at the Pietermaritzburg (Oribi) aerodrome, which boasts a 1580m tarred runway, but which is conveniently out of the way of heavy commercial air traffic. The suitability of the aerodrome as a center for sport flying is exemplified by the presence of Chapter 357 of the Experimental Aircraft Association of Southern Africa which has its own hangar on the airfield.
