flying club

Pilots' shared organization

A flying club is an organization whose members share access to aircraft, splitting costs of ownership, maintenance, and insurance.

Members typically pay dues and hourly rates to fly club planes, making aviation more affordable than individual ownership.

Most flying clubs also foster community among pilots and student pilots: She learned to fly through the local flying club.
