2011 Rates and Fee Schedule
Here are the rates we charge to keep our club in the air. If you need
an estimate of what you're going to spend, most members spend around $1000
- $2000 a year if you'll be flying most weekends.
The cost of a glider flight will be the cost of the tow plus the glider
rental. A standard tow is usually 2000', for $24. A typical training flight
is around 15 minutes duration. In an L-23, this would bring your total
cost to around $40 per flight.
