The Plane
Cessna 182 Skylane (C-GKMD)
Based at St. Andrews Airport (CYAV), the WFC’s own 1978 Cessna 182Q is in great shape with overall low total time. It’s certified for IFR use, and the club conducts regular maintenance every 50, 100, and 200 hours.
Our members are the ‘owners’ of the plane, and take the same care of it as if it was their own.
