Welcome!
This is our passion and what we do for fun… The Northeast Florida Aero Club (NEFLAC)

KSGJ – Our Home – Our Playground

NEFLAC was formed by local pilots in July 2019. The Northeast Florida Regional Airport (KSGJ) was picked as its home-base for its convenient facilities and great area and location.

The club currently operates four (4) fully IFR certified aircraft with three (3) aircraft being Technically Advanced Airplane (TAA).

The first aircraft was purchased in December 2019, a 1967 PA-28-180, Piper Cherokee ‘C’, 180HP, TAA, N4886L. In July 2020, the aircraft avionics was updated to include a Garmin avionics suite: GNX 375 Navigator/GPS/Transponder with ADS-B Out/In, dual G5 EFI primary displays and an INS 429 VOR/ILS unit. In March 2021, the radios were replaced with two Garmin GTR 225 and a PS Engineering 6000B Audio Panel. In February 2022, the engine was replaced with a new, zero-time, factory rebuilt engine. Lastly, in June 2023, the lap seat belts were upgraded to shoulder/lap seat belts and a Garmin GFC 500 Autopilot was installed to complete the Garmin suite and make the aircraft a Technologically Advance Aircraft (TAA). With 48-gallons of usable fuel, N4886L is a favorite amongst members for extended long cross-country flights.

In January 2022, the club added its second club-owned aircraft; a 1965 C-172F, Skyhawk, 180HP, TAA, N124PJ with the Air Plains STC that added a Lycoming O-360 engine with 180HP. It has a Garmin GTN 750 NAV/COMM, Apollo SL15 Audio Panel, GTX 345 XPDR (ADS-B Out/In), GEM 610 Engine Monitor and VA-1A Voltmeter. In June 2023, the avionics was updated to a full Garmin suite to make the aircraft a Technologically Advance Aircraft (TAA) with the installation of a GFC 500 Autopilot, dual G5 EFI and GNC 225A NAV/COM Radio.

A year later in April 2024, a third aircraft, a 1973 C-150L, N11285, was added to increase aircraft availability to our growing membership and to aircraft diversification for the diverse needs from our members. It has dual G5 EFI, GNX375 Navigator (ADS-B Out/In), GNC255 NAV/COM and a PMA6000B Audio Panel. In December 2024, the engine was replaced with a  new, zero-time, factory rebuilt engine.

Lastly, also in December 2024, the club acquired its fourth aircraft, a 1975 C-182P, Skylane G500, 230HP, N6936M, to accommodate club members interest to go faster and farther on long cross country flights with a 56-gallon usable fuel capacity. This aircraft has a Garmin G500 Glass Panel, GTN750 and GTN650 GPS/NAV/COM, GTX345 (ADS-B Out/In) XPDR and GMA350C Audio Panel.

All aircraft are hangared at the Northeast Florida Regional Airport (KSGJ) with 3 aircraft located in the same hangar row. Hangars have a few amenities for convenience and flight planning like small refrigerators, desk, chairs and cleaning and aircraft supplies.

The total club membership is capped to a ratio of 20 members per aircraft (20:1 ratio). Membership is almost full but the club continuously accepts applications for the waiting-list in the order which they are received. Contact us at (904) 571-5068 or membership@neflac.com to learn more about NEFLAC or to schedule a visit to see our club aircraft and facilities.

The club always considering and looking to purchase or lease back additional aircraft to expand the fleet. We have experience operating and maintaining leased aircraft. Over the years we have operated and maintained two leased aircraft. If you are an aircraft owner interested in leasing your aircraft to the club please reach out to us for more information and details.

As part of joining NEFLAC club member we also ask members to join the local St Augustine Airport Pilots Association (SAAPA).

NEFLAC is a Not-For-Profit corporation. We are not an aircraft rental business. We are all stakeholders in the club with share aircraft ownership. As such we treat and maintain all of our aircraft in that manner. This keeps our costs manageable and allows us to always have clean and good looking aircraft to show for and enjoy. Come see for yourself!
