Membership requires a one-time fee of $500.00 plus one month’s dues, which are currently $75.00.

Once membership is approved by the board of directors, you will be obligated to pay a monthly dues rate, which is currently $75.00 per month.

The Aircraft hourly rate is figured by actual operating cost at no profit and is calculated by TACH TIME including fuel.  Since a large portion of the operating cost is associated with fuel burn, members have option to refuel the airplane themselves and get reimbursed or pay $100.00 per hour wet (As of August 2023).
