Initiation
fee $100 - A one time fee associated with processing
your membership application (Please note: At the time of application,
an additional $100 is to be provided to pay for aircraft usage associated
with your introductory flight. This fee is added to your club account
as a credit and any unused portion will be applied towards furture
flying. This is the only time you need to pay for flying in advance.)

is fully refundable to you if you leave the club (For a summary of
the club philosophy regarding aircraft financing and equity charges, see
the FAQ.)
Monthly

the fixed costs of aircraft ownership, such as insurance,
hangar rental, annual inspections, licenses, etc. There is
a $7 credit for attendance at the monthly meeting, to encourage

Hourly flight charges
- Aircraft usage charges determined from actual flight time only - there are
no daily or weekly minimum charges. All rental rates are "wet" (i.e.
include fuel) and you can be reimbursed
for fuel purchased off-field. Time is based on Tach
(engine tachometer) time, which is typically 10 to 15% lower than the
Hobbs meter (electical) time charged for aircraft rentals elsewhere. The present
hourly charges for each aircraft are:
