How Much Will it Cost?

Typical Cost Estimates to Solo in Gliders

 

Standard Membership:


The standard membership entitles you to fly or train in the club aircraft at a nominal cost per flight plus tow fees.  See Fee Schedule below for full details.

Student Membership:


Students enrolled full-time in an accredited school are offered a deep discount on club membership and no initiation fee.

Tow Pilot Membership:


If you are a qualified power pilot interested in towing gliders aloft, we have a membership plan specifically for this.  No monthly fee.  Typical weekend days will net you about 2 hrs of time for your logbook and it is a fun place to hang out if you are an aviation buff.
