East Staffordshire Flying Club

East Staffordshire Flying Club Facebook group for ESFC members. Somewhere to share Club goings on. You do not need to be a pilot to join ESFC - just an interest in aviation!

East Staffordshire Flying Club is based at Tatenhill Airfield near Burton on Trent and has been going since 1993. The main benefit of joining the club is the opportunity to mix with like-minded people in a friendly club atmosphere, but we also have the following to offer:-

A dedicated clubhouse room in The Squadron Office with social area providing free tea and coffee

Flight simulator (checkout

required)

PC with flight planning software

Social events

Fly-outs and other flying events and competitions

Discounted medical examinations

A complete set of PPL training manuals (including IMC) plus sample test papers (Confusers)

Membership is just £20 and runs from 1st February till 31st January. (Commercial operations on the field are undertaken by Tatenhill Aviation Ltd and are a separate entity to ESFC.)

Sunday, weather permitting will see our first flyout for 2026 to Breighton. We will aim for the first aircraft to leave Tatenhill at 10am. All pilots are responsible for their own planning and should be familiar with Breighton arrival procedures. If anyone has a seat spare and is willing to take along a non flying member, please let us know. Fingers crossed for a good day

Big thanks to Martin Jones for giving us the “Going Foreign Briefing “ in the clubhouse this evening and to all those members who attended. We will endeavour to put a download pdf of the briefing on our website shortly. With respect to the flyout to Le Touquet, we will be holding a planning meeting closer to the date. Thanks again for your support.

21/04/2026

Just a little reminder that the club are having the Going Foreign briefing tomorrow night in the clubhouse. If you have wondered what it takes to fly abroad, then this is for you. We hope to see you there.
