usage rates & capabilities

Aircraft Usage Costs

Member rates are for members, as defined in the Club's Policies & Procedures.

Rates

Each aircraft owner determines the usage rate. Members share in the cost of airplane ownership and get a low rate in exchange for helping with keeping the airplanes and hangars clean.

N759ZT & N735LC have these rates:

$166 ($195, 7/1/22) per hour wet, 24 hour annual commitment. Starting 8/1/22 a monthly usage rate will be auto-added, see below.
$186 ($210, 7/1/22) per hour wet, standard rate (for pilots who use other aircraft, like CAP, CFIs)
