T-41C

The T-41 Mescalero, a short-range, high-wing trainer aircraft, is the military version of the Cessna 172 Skyhawk. The T-41C’s, unlike the T-41As with the old 145hp, have a monster 210hp engine. The T-41C can best be described as a C-172 on steroids. It is only slightly different than the T-41D which also incorporates a variable pitch propeller. All versions of the T-41 have fixed landing gear. The engine is so powerful for its size, it is hard to put more people and fuel in the plane than
it can hold. Usual cruise speeds are around
120 to 125 knots, and climb speeds of 1,000
to 1,750 feet per minute! This is a hearty plane that handles short and soft field take off and landing with a breeze. It has enough power to get in and out of almost anywhere. Built for the traffic pattern, it can handle rough landings like a charm. Although quite heavy on the controls, the plane is great for cross country flights anywhere you want to go.

Cessna C-172

The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is a four-seat,
single-engine, high-wing airplane. More
Cessna 172s have been built than any other Western aircraft. It is also probably the most popular flight training aircraft in the world,
and is without doubt the most successful
mass produced light aircraft in history.

CESSNA C-172RG

Cessna RG Cessna produced a retractable-gear version of the 172 named the Cutlass 172RG and also produced versions on floats. The 172RG additionally had a variable pitch, constant speed propeller and more powerful stock engine as did the more spartan militarized Cessna 172E that was sold to the US Army as a spotter plane. While numbered and marketed as a 172, the 172RG is actually a variant of the Cessna 175 type.

Frequently Asked Question

How long does it take to get your Private Pilot License?

It depends on how often you fly. Most students take approximately 50-60 flight hours and approximately a year to complete their rating. This will vary if you fly more.

How much does a rating cost?

You could become a private pilot for less than $5500!

Aircraft (40 hrs @$80): $3400

Flight Instruction (30 hrs @$25): $750

Materials: $275

Ground School: $275

FAA Flight Check: $300

Written Exam: $80

Initiation Fee and 4 months' dues: $125

TOTAL: $5205

How often should I fly?

The best way to progress through the rating is to fly as often as possible. We suggest 2-3 times per week since weather and aircraft maintenance can cancel flights. This allows students to continue to make progress instead of having to review previous lessons.

Do I have to take a Ground school class?

If you are enrolled in the FAA Part 141 program you must complete the ground school course. This can be done two ways. You can take the traditional classroom class, which is offered three times a year or you can do an independent study course where your progress is evaluated through stage exams with your individual flight instructor.

What is different about flying at an Air Force club as opposed to a civilian FBO (Fixed Base Operator)?

An Air Force club must comply with more stringent regulations, which makes it a safer organization. Since the mission of the club is to promote morale and provide a service to those associated with the Department of Defense our rates are usually 10-15% cheaper than our civilian counterparts.

What are the benefits of FAA Part 141-program certification?

A certified program allows the student to complete the course in a smaller amount of flight time, however, the training is also better. Since the program is certified you know that the program is good.

How should I choose a flight instructor?

You should check an instructor’s availability and then give them a call. Ask them some questions and get to know them. If you feel comfortable with the instructor schedule a flight and see if their teaching style meets your learning style. You can switch instructors at any time if you are not compatible.

Who is eligible to be a member of the Holloman AFB Aero Club ?

Any active duty, reserve, or retired military, DOD employees/ contractors, FAA employees, active CAP members, and any person utilizing VA benefits and their dependents. (See AFI 34-262 Attach 2 for further details.)
