Velis Club offers exceptional two-seat versatility. As a high-performance aircraft with a constant speed propeller and heavy duty landing gear, it provides an ideal platform for flight training, touring and glider towing capability.

The Velis Club is one of three aircraft that make up the Velis family. Complementing the Velis Electro and Explorer perfectly as part of the Velis training system, the Velis Club covers all areas of basic and advanced pilot training under VFR conditions. Its robust, heavy‑duty landing gear is optimized for the demands of flight training and routine operations from both paved and grass runways. It is well suited for intentional spins and UPRT training in addition to glider towing capability.

Combining proven airframe and engine designs with the simplicity and durability required of a club aircraft, the Velis Club is not only capable but affordable. The outstanding aerodynamic efficiencies and robust, lightweight structure provide superior performance with low fuel consumption and low environmental impact. The Club, as part of the Velis family, is designed to lower the cost of flying while providing industry-leading levels of capability.
