Cleared Own Navigation: The New York Flying Club Off to Phenomenal Start

Pilots tired of the day-to-day grind of virtual airline flying now have a VFR/IFR GA option with the New York Flying Club. Quickly gaining popularity on the VATSIM network, and operating in both FSX and X-Plane, the New York Flying Club emphasizes VFR and IFR flying in single-engined (and sometime multi-engined) piston or turboprop aircraft operating from F.B.O.’s away from the crowded skies around Class-B airspace. Their website is chock-full of information and any interested pilots should visit them at: www.newyorkflyingclub.net.

Modeled after real-world flying clubs, where aircraft ownership costs are deferred across a number of different users, the available aircraft list is as diverse as it is diffuse with aircraft such as the Cessna 152, 172, 177, 182, 310, 337, 421, and 208B, both the Seneca and Navajo from Piper Aircraft, along with the Archer II, the parachute-equiped Cirrus SR-22  and many, many others. For a complete list of the club’s aircraft, visit their website at: www.newyorkflyingclub.net. With more than 20 available types of airplanes and 4 F.B.O.’s from which to depart, pilots should have no problems finding an aircraft or location to fufill their G.A. VFR or IFR desires.
