Information Sheet - June 29, 2009
The purpose of the K-State Flying Club is to promote interest in aviation. We do this by providing airplanes for members at the most economical rates possible. The corporation owns and operates five aircraft, and we strive to maintain a ratio of 13 active members per airplane.
Membership in the K-State Flying Club is open to the public; however, K-State students faculty and alumni have priority in joining the club.
To join the corporation, you must buy a share of stock for $300 which is refunded when you resign from the corporation. You must also pay a $60 non-refundable processing fee. Monthly dues are $30 and you should try and fly at least 1 hour each month. Members flying corporation planes are covered for $1,000,000 liability. Deductible charges for liability are limited to $300.
Listed below are corporation-approved flight instructors available for instruction at all levels of training from the private pilot's license through the commercial certification. The cost of obtaining a private pilot's license is dependent on individual ability but will usually total between $4,000 and $5,000.
