Decarbonised Flight SChools

Decarbonised flight training partners for your sustainable aviation future.
FlyOnE Flight school partners are focused on a sustainable aviation future for their members and guests. Aviation is in a transitional stage where fully zero emissions aircraft like the Pipistrel range of electric aircraft don't yet suit all operational requirements in a flight school. As such, we are helping our flight school partners and owners of low-emissions aircraft decarbonise in partnership with Carbon Neutral by planting enough trees to offset the carbon emissions of their low-emissions trainer aircraft. Download the factsheet here. We use the following formula to establish the number of trees to be planted to offset your low emissions (non Leaded fuel) aircraft for 10 years (based on a 100 year average lifespan of a tree).
First, the emissions per year are calculated...
Flight hours per year x (L of Fuel per hour x kg/CO2 per L) = CO2 Emissions per year
Where CO2 emissions per L of Unleaded pump fuel are 2.31Kg Per L and Fuel weighs .78 kg per L. Then, the amount of trees required to offset this amount is calculated...
+CO2 Emissions per year /-CO2 per tree x {.1} = Quantity of Trees required
Where CO2 absorption per tree per year is 21kg per year and {.1} is the average life of a tree (100 years)/10 = Carbon offsets per decade The below flight schools have decarbonised their non-electric aircraft with carbon offsets based on the above equation.

CLoud Dancer PIlot Training

Jandakot, Western Australia
Cloud Dancer Pilot training in Jandakot, Western Australia was the first ever flight school in Australia to electrify and adopt a Pipistrel Alpha Electro electric trainer aircraft as a part of their pilot training operations. Since then Cloud Dancer Pilot Training has expanded to use multiple electric aircraft in flight training operations across multiple airports to complement their traditional internal combustion aircraft flight training operations.

CLoud Dancer Pilot Training DEcarbonised

Sportstar Harmony Evektor
The Sportstar Harmony Evektor is a Rotax powered aircraft running on unleaded pump fuel. It consumes an average of 15L of fuel per hour during normal operation. Flight hours per year - 1200 Carbon emissions per year - 41,580kg Cloud Dancer Pilot training has decarbonised this aircraft for a decade by offsetting the emissions with 200 trees. 200 trees locks away 420,000kg of C02 per 100 years, providing over a decade of carbon offsets for this aircraft's operational emissions.
