Clubs:

Three Flying Clubs operate from Parakai Airfield: the 'Parakai Aviation Club' (PAC), the 'Northland Microlight Club' (NMC) and the 'Auckland Regional Microlight Aircraft Club' (ARMAC).

Most of the ARMAC members fly the 'back to basics' aircraft with open cockpits and 'rag and tube' construction, the NMC members tend to aluminium/composite enclosed aircraft. PAC is for all those using Parakai, or interested in aviation.

Club Facilities: The airfield has a clubrooms building with kitchen, toilets, shower, flight planning room and members lounge. The Parakai Courtesy Car is available for visiting aviators (if you wish to book the car in advance phone Simon, 021 354 548). The Hall is available for events that are too large for the clubrooms to handle.
