Accuracy Landing League


We had so much fun with the first accuracy landing league that we are organizing another league!  The competitions will be held every other Sunday at 4 p.m. for 8 weeks (this means 4 competitions).  We will have an official starting date when we generate enough sign ups to form a league.  The entry fee for the competition will be $10 per person.  100% of the fee will go towards the league prizes for 1st (50%), 2nd (35%), and 3rd (15 %).   

During each bi-weekly competition each participant will get 3 landing attempts, and thus 12 total attempts for the entire league.  If you are trying to figure costs, we figure it will take around .3 or .4 hours per person for each competition, therefore in total, it will require from 1.2 to 1.6 hours for the entire competition per person.  If you own an aircraft, you may use it in the landing competition.  If you are interested please send us an e-mail response with your name, e-mail, and phone number or call, so we can contact everyone once we have enough people. 

If you have any questions please contact Nick Loftus at 217-649-0999 or nick-loftus@hotmail.com.  You may also call St. Charles Flying Service at 636-946-6067 for more information.

Winter Weekend: Let's Go Fly!!!

The snow has moved on (for now) and the sun is out once again! Plus a little breeze adds to the challenge. Practiced your crosswind landings lately? Have you ever flown with snow on the ground? Winter affords us many opportunities to add new skills and experiences, but many of us hang up our headset until spring. Why not grab your coat and get up in the air!? You can always take an instructor with you to help you increase those personal minimums and build confidence.

Want to focus on something specific with you winter flying? SCFS offers mini-courses on Night Flying, Towered Airports & IFR for VFR Pilots. Taking advantage of these affordable, informative courses during the winter months keeps you current & confident for the spring flying season...

See you up there!!!
