The following is the condensed version of our membership rules and regulations.  The in-depth version is in our documents section and will provide much more detail.  Aero Fliers limits the number of active flying pilots to a maximum of 49 at one time to provide our members with good availability of aircraft.

​

Aero Fliers does not employee instructors, but the instructors are club members.  They set their own hourly rates for instruction (roughly $35 per hour).

​

All Pilots must join at the C-172 level. 

​

Buy-in at the gold level requires a prerequisite of silver level membership.

​

Initiation Fee, One-time access fees, and monthly dues are all plus tax.

​

In an effort to promote fuel efficient flying and to more closely align flight time with aircraft reserve accounts, flight time is calculated on Tach time, not Hobbs time.  Block time is a reserve into which members will be able to deposit funds, initially $1000, and thereafter in increments of $500. This block time reserve can then be used to pay for any airtime on any of the Aero Fliers aircraft at a 10% discount.

 

Non-Flying Membership

Many members, for various reasons, are unable to fly, yet want to retain their membership in the club.  Any member may elect to go to non-flying status for a two year period by advising the Treasurer.  Members will be relieved of paying monthly charges during the period that they are designated as being of non-flying status and will be given priority in returning to active status over a non-member wishing to join the club.  Members of non-flying status shall pay an annual membership fee of $120.00 (prorated for a partial year) and shall be entitled to participate in all membership meetings and social events.

 

Inactive Membership

The Board may authorize a member to go to inactive status in the event of extended illness, extended travel, or other extenuating circumstances, subject to a vote of approval at the next membership meeting.  Inactive members will be relieved of monthly charges while in inactive status.
