GA in HK
 
Maybe before the moderators move this, they can give it just a few hours to breathe.............

I am a JAA PPL (A) with 130 hours and just commenced imc here in the UK. I have lived in Asia on and off since '95 and have just been issued my HK PR.

My question, I will be in HK Tuesday 23 May with a the full day free and would love to get a flight in.

If anyone on the forum keeps a light single in HK and would be prepared to take me up Tuesday, please pm or email [email protected]

Needless to say, I would be happy to cover all costs.

3B's. This seems as good a bet as any. Just sent an email to the CFI. Fingers crossed.

Thanks

Plan B - if you can stretch extra time is to hop on a flight (apparently not CR !) to Clarke in the Phils check out one of the flight schools there. A good fun alternate is ACFC.com (do a search). Or you can enjoy the delights of Angeles City itself !

Cebu in the Philippines also has numerous flying schools (plus great beach resorts) and CX has a daily service to CEB (2+ hours).

Handy Andy - can you recommend any for GA hire ?
A/c types and a place to stay - with Mrs.

Cheers

I guess the only choice (if you want to fly GA in HKG and not anywhere else) would be Hong Kong Aviation club as mentioned by bigbeerbelly...Its very expensive though (at least to me!)
Here is a picture of the GA airport (Sek Kong VHSK)

HandyAndy - magic. on yer matey.

Is that the Cessna 140 they pulled out of Manilla Bay ? One used to be at a little airtrip nth of Manilla - I forget the name but there is a flight training school for the Japs there. Apparently someone took it swimming just after they restored it.
