FAQ:

  1. What is the schedule usage? A majority of members only fly once or twice a month. Since 1995 the average yearly hourly total has been 178 hrs. We expect slightly more usage since expanding membership from 10 to 12. In 2021 monthly usage was approximately 18hrs per month.

If interested in joining? We will need the membership application filled out. After that we will setup meeting for interview, show you the airplane and answer your questions. Second step is to setup a short test flight. After successful completion of test flight and we think you are a good fit for our Club you will be required to do one or more orientation flights.  Please contact us if interested.
