Jabiru J170
N538J is the club's two-seat light sport trainer: a modern Jabiru J170 with glass-panel avionics, a responsive 80 hp Jabiru engine, and the lowest wet rate in the fleet. It's the most accessible way to start training, stay current, or build hours out of Denton Enterprise.
Why the J170
Capable, simple, and efficient.
Light sport simplicity
Two seats, fixed-pitch prop, and a driver's-license medical path make it ideal for Sport Pilot training and recreational flying.
Modern panel
Dynon SkyView glass avionics with ADS-B In/Out keep the cockpit current and the workload low.
Low fuel burn
Around four to five gallons per hour — the reason the wet rate is the lowest in the fleet.
STOL-like handling
A 40-knot stall speed and light control loads make pattern work forgiving for new students.
Who it suits
Pilots across north DFW.
Sport pilots, budget-conscious students, and certificated pilots keeping current fly the J170 from KDTO, minutes off I-35 and an easy drive from Denton, Frisco, Flower Mound and north Fort Worth.
New students
Start flying sooner with a lower hourly rate and a shorter syllabus.
Currency flying
Keep landings and airwork current without a four-seat aircraft's cost.
Time builders
The lowest wet rate in the fleet for accumulating hours.
Billing
One invoice. The club handles all of it.
A4 handles all billing, including instruction. Aircraft time at the published wet rate, instruction and membership dues arrive on a single club invoice — you never settle up separately with your CFI, and instructors never chase students for payment. The club pays approved CFIs directly.
