$700 for your
non-refundable
non-equity initiation fee.

Add additional funds:
In order to fly, you must establish a higher account balance than the $120 minimum.
4. Bring a copy of your medical and your pilot's license and give it to the current
personnel officer.
For student pilots without a medical, please contact a club CFI and have them
confirm that they will instruct you through our club.
5. Request access to aircraftclubs.com from the current personnel officer, as
this is the means to schedule airplanes. You can send this person an email
upon your acceptance and he/she will confirm that the club has received
your initial funds. On aircraftclubs.com, you can access the below
mentioned forms and schedule airplanes.
6. Schedule an airplane checkout with one of our club instructors.
7. Obtain an Aircraft Questionnaire, fill it out using the POH from one of the
172s, have a club instructor review it at your checkout and then turn it into
the personnel officer.
8. Obtain a Club Checkout Form:
a checklist of things that you will need orientation on before use (airplanes,
hangar, pre-heat, oil, fuel, CFC trailer, etc). Have a club instructor help you
complete this and then turn it into the current personnel officer.
9. Attend 15 meetings within the first 6 months. This is a probationary period
requirement only. After these 15 meetings, there is no minimum requirement
for meeting attendance.
10. Complete 10 work hours for the club within 6 months. This is probationary
equirement. Each member is required to perform 20 hrs per year. However,
under the probation, you must have half done by your 6-month date. There
are plenty of opportunities for work hours.
Note: You are on a probationary period for 6 months. This means that at any time you can cancel and get 1/2 of your $700 initiation fee back, along with any unused funds on the account. It also means the club can remove you for any reason and return 1/2 of your $700 initiation fee, along with any unused funds on the account. After 6 months, the $700 initiation fee is non-refundable.
