Point Cook Flying Club

The Point Cook Flying Club or PCFC as it is known to its members was founded in the mid 1970s by a group of Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) personnel with an interest in recreational flying. Initially membership in the PCFC was generally limited to serving and retired military personnel. The PCFC is now a civillian entity with membership open to members of the public acceptable to the PCFC committee. The PCFC is a not for profit organisation that exists to provide a venue and facilities for training pilots to Private Pilot Licence (PPL) and beyond, and a friendly enviroment for aviators and their families to gather and share aviation experiences. In addition to this the PCFC management committee is committed to the promotion of aviation generally and promotion of the Point Cook Airfield precinct as an ideal destination for local, interstate and overseas visitors.

Membership Levels

The PCFC offers the following four levels of membership:

• Flying Member,
• Student Member,
• Social Member, and
• Junior Member.

Flying Members

Flying members must have a minimum of a GFPT. Flying members may hire PCFC online aircraft after either meeting the minimum hours on-type requirement for the aircraft being hired or having been assessed by an appropriate member as being safe on the type of aircraft being hired. Further, flying members may be members of the PCFC committee and have full voting rights.

Student Members

As the name suggests, student members are those that are learning to fly. Student members may hire club on-line aircraft once they have reached appropriate milestones in their training program. Aircraft used for flying lessons will generally be provided by the trianing instructor.

Social members are those members that are not yet students or do not intend to obtain a flying licence but wish to gather and converse with other club members in the field of aviation. Social members can be a member of the committee but do not have full voting rights.
