Get to Know Our Birds
Each member is required to complete a checkout flight with a club CFI, at their own expense, for each of the aircraft they wish to operate. Members are also expected to maintain FAA-mandated currency in the aircraft, or may schedule a club CFI for signoff. Each aircraft has different checkout requirements due to insurance stipulations and standards set by the chief pilot and club CFIs.
Please note that each aircraft retains its own hangar but locations within the valley vary and may change at any time due to membership requirements, maintenance, etc.
Each aircraft within the fleet has an hourly rate associated with it depending on a member’s selected monthly dues option. Find more information on membership and aircraft rates here.
