AvUK Flying Club - A new, friendly community focused on GA, Bush flights and more. Come say hi!

Hi there,

First of all, this is a brand new community, so if you’re looking for something that’s already established, we may not be the right fit, however, if you’re looking to be part of something new, please read on, we’d love to have you!

What we are -

  • A flying club, similar to what you may find at your local airfield.
  • A community of people looking to enjoy the sim together in a mature, light hearted and relaxed manner.
  • A group of people looking to explore the world in community driven events.

What we are not -

  • A virtual airline.
  • A group that expects you to dedicate your time to us, you’re attendance is a gift to us, you do not owe us anything.

The purpose of this community is to try and bring a sense of community and purpose to our flight sim experiences without imposing on your real life or bringing about unnecessary stress. You will never be obligated to dedicate your time to the club, nor will you be obligated to have to meet arbitrary requirements. I hope that the environment we will collectively build amongst ourselves will be enough to keep people coming back.

Why have I decided to start this? I think one of the best parts of flight sims is the potential to not only socialise with the collective community but to learn from one another, however one of the greatest issues we can face is absently staring at the world map screen thinking, where do I fly?

There are many great communities out there that provide a sense of purpose and structure to your experience, however most of them seem to cater for commercial aircraft, meaning that often those of us who just want to go see the views in a Cessna, or bounce between sandbars in a Kitfox don’t fit in.

So, this community aims to fill that gap, to provide events and like minded people to go explore the world with! Our main focusses will be General Aviation, Bush Flying and maybe even some Gliding.

I’ll be looking to get several thematic events going, these are currently up for suggestion, some examples may include -

  • Country explorations, recurring events every week where we can slowly explore our surroundings from a low altitude with good company.
  • Soaring clubs, where we can go gliding together with predefined routes and weather presets.
  • Bush expeditions, exploring some of the most remote and beautiful places on the planet.

All of this is open for suggestions, I want everyone’s voice to be equal, so speak up if you would like to host your own events or have an idea that someone else hasn’t though of yet!

If you think this sounds good, or you want to learn more, please come say hi over on our Discord!
