Welcome to VT Aviators
VT Aviators is a premium, non-equity flying group created only for people truly addicted to aviation and genuinely passionate about flying.
If you’re just looking to build hours as cheaply as possible, this isn’t the place.
If you care about quality aircraft, high standards and enjoyable flying – you’ll fit right in.
Who We Are
VT Aviators is a professionally run, members-only group giving you access to high-spec touring aircraft without the hassle and commitment of ownership.
We welcome PPL holders and experienced aviators who value:
• Premium, well-equipped aircraft
• Proper maintenance under CAMO oversight
• A small, like-minded community of serious pilots
This is for people who care about doing things properly, on the ground and in the air.
OUR AIRCRAFT
Our fleet is maintained to the highest standard under CAMO, with safety and reliability as top priorities.
Both G-BOOL and G-LANE are:
Premium touring aircraft
Fitted with leather interiors for comfort and a professional feel
Equipped with glass cockpit avionics for enhanced situational awareness
Fitted with autopilot, making them ideal for stable, accurate touring and advanced operations
These are aircraft you’ll be proud to fly and happy to put family, friends and fellow pilots into.
Lounge & Facilities
Flying with VT Aviators isn’t just about the aircraft – it’s about the environment you operate from.
Members enjoy access to our crew lounge, including:
✓ Free coffee and cold drinks
✓ Comfortable chairs and sofa to relax before or after flights

It’s a place to brief, debrief, chat with other pilots, or simply enjoy being around aviation.
MEMBERSHIP & PRICING
Minimum membership term: 6 months
Monthly subscription: £150
Tacho Hour Rates
G-BOOL: £140 per Tacho hour
G-LANE: £160 per Tacho hour
Your monthly subscription covers fixed costs (insurance, CAMO, parking/hangarage, admin and ongoing upkeep).
The Tacho rate links what you pay directly to how the engine is actually used.
Why Tacho Charging Saves You Money
Many operators charge:
• Brakes-off to brakes-on – you pay full rate for taxiing, holding, power checks and delays.
• Hobbs / electrical time – simple, but it often counts every minute the master is on, regardless of power setting.
We charge by Tacho hour – time recorded by the engine tachometer. The big difference:
• At idle or low power (taxi, run-up, holding), the tacho ticks over more slowly.
• At cruise power, it runs at its normal rate.
In practice, for typical UK GA operations with real taxi times, power checks and the occasional hold, Tacho charging can reduce billed time by a noticeable margin compared with brakes-off / brakes-on – often around 10–20% less chargeable time, especially at busier airfields where ground delays are common.
So you’re effectively paying for meaningful engine use, not being penalised for doing proper checks or waiting for traffic. For pilots who fly properly and don’t rush, Tacho is one of the fairest and most efficient charging methods.
