The Fleet
Introducing the Blackbushe Aviation Fleet
We have nine aircraft available for training or hire ranging from basic two seaters to sophisticated high performance touring aircraft.
Sonaca S200 x2
Pride of our fleet are two Brand new Sonaca S200 training aircraft, G-LKAM and G-LKSM. Both these aircraft were bought brand new for Blackbushe Aviation and are used for basic PPL training. Amy and Sammy are superb training aircraft loved by both our students and instructors. Despite them being less than a year old we have had several pilots gain their PPLs on these aircraft.
C152 x3
Every flying club has flown Cessna 152s and we are no exception as we have three! G-BZEA is an A152 aerobat, G-BZEB is a C152 standard trainer and G-CDTX is an F152 built in France.
PS28 x1
Our sixth two seater is a PS28 cruiser, G-EGLK with a Dynon 100 glass cockpit for PPL training and hire.
PA28 x2
We have two four seater Piper PA28 aircraft for basic and advanced training. G-BICW was Steve's personal aircraft until 2019 when it joined the fleet. Charlie Whisky is a 161 Warrior equipped with twin Garmin G5s and a Garmin 650 GPS Nav/com.
G-JJAN is a 181 Archer equipped with a Garmin 430W and soon to have twin G5s too!

Top of the fleet performance wise is a Socata TB20 G-BPTI which we use for commercial and IR training and hire. Tango India is equipped with an S-tec autopilot, twin G5s and an Avidyne IFD 440 GPS Nav/com. This is a go places aircraft built for speed!
