Getting started on your flying adventure with us is easy. The first step is to take an introductory flight with one of our friendly instructors. Our instructors are members, and whether it’s your first time behind the controls or you are a high time airline or corporate pilot, these are the people who will introduce you to the club and our airplanes. They are also available for your annual safety review.

You don’t have to be a member of the club to take an introductory flight. Our members understand pilots, and what it takes to be a pilot, like no one else. Rest assured. We’ll walk you through the program step-by-step, from your first lesson to your license. And, you’ll know exactly what your spending and why.

A Pilot Never Stops Learning

Initial flying lessons typically take about 2 hours (about 1 hour for pre- and post-flight briefing, and about 1 hour of actual flying time). You will be asked to fill out a brief one page membership/aircraft rental agreement. Weather permitting you will obtain hands-on flying experience your very first lesson.

You are also welcome to contact Our Membership or Flight Safety/Training Officer via email to first take care of your membership registration, pick up your kit with course materials, and to schedule your first flying lesson for some time thereafter.

Alternatively, print the Membership Application. Complete it and mail or email it to us. We will need a photocopy of a driver’s license (or other official picture identification) with a current address.
