It also provided trial flights, enabling anyone to handle the controls of an aircraft in flight. The club operated four aircraft; a two-seater Piper Tomahawk, and three four-seaters: a Piper Archer, Piper Warrior and Cessna 172.
In February 2016, EFC announced that it would cease flight operations by 31 March 2016, citing multiple factors.
