Oxford Flying Club

Oxford Flying Club, formed in 1992, is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to safe, affordable flying for its members. We are based at Waterbury-Oxford Airport (OXC), a modern, well-managed state-owned facility in Oxford, Connecticut. Thanks to a diverse, involved membership the Club has become one of the most active aviation organizations in New England.

Oxford Flying Club is a friendly group of about 30 individuals who share the joy of aviation. Our membership encompasses pilots of all experience levels from basic students to retired airline pilots, and includes several instructors who offer expert training and guidance. Each member contributes his or her talents to keep the Club and the Aircraft running smoothly. Members are known to fly together to share experience, cross train, and maintain currency. We offer aviation camaraderie, education and fun!

The Club owns two well maintained IFR capable Piper PA-28-181 Cherokee Archer II Aircraft plus an IFR capable Cessna 172P Skyhawk. Archer N8261H is an especially beautiful aircraft equipped with GNS530 WAAS enabled GPS/Nav/Com with Mode-S traffic overlay, WX-500 Storm Scope overlay, Garmin GTX-330 Transponder, plus a leather interior and new paint scheme. Archer N4384F features a GNS430 WAAS enabled GPS/Nav/Com.

Booking rules are liberal including hourly, full day, four day and 12 day bookings. Special exceptions for longer bookings are possible by membership approval.

Flight charges are $125 per hour for Archer N8261H (with the GNS530,) $115 per hour for Archer N4384F (with the GNS430), and $95 per hour for Cessna N98819. Charges are based on tach time and include fuel. Flying members are charged a minimum of two hours flight time per month but may accumulate up to four hours without loss.

Equipment details and additional photos of the aircraft may be found here.

Oxford Flying Club maintains check ride and currency standards that are more stringent than required by the FAA.

Flying members are required to pass annual Flight Checks and Instrument Proficiency Checks (if applicable) and must be signed off by a club approved instructor.

Members must also attend several ground training seminars each year, either at Club meetings or as offered by local FSDO. To encourage safety through currency, flying members are charged a minimum of two hours flight time per month but may accumulate up to four hours without loss.

Oxford Flying Club meets at a designated location near OXC at 7:00 pm on the third Tuesday of each month. Although Club Business and Safety Discussions are the official agenda at our meetings, a good deal of hangar flying has been known to occur.

We also organize an annual Summer Picnic and Holiday Dinner, plus a Safety Day ot Oxford Airport with a spot landing contest, barbecue, and aviation seminar.

The Club regulary sponsors aviation oriented eduational events for the local aviation community and has hosted such notables as weather expert Dr. Mel Goldstein, aviation author Rinker Buck and TV news anchor Al Terzi.

The Pinch-Hitter Course and Soft Field Landing Day are more examples of special flight training activities arranged by and for Club members.

Oxford Flying Club is open to any interested individual.
