Come Fly with us

Why you should join
Club members enjoy so many benefits
You don’t have to own it!
Put that downpayment you’ve been saving for your airplane purchase back in your pocket! Why own when the club provides excellent aircraft at competitive rates?
Dues include flight time
Every month, $30 of your dues are credited to your account toward your flight time. This credit must be used for flight time, and cannot be used for dues. It expires after 90 days. To use your credit, simply reserve the airplane and go flying! Your next invoice will include the credit.
Bring your own CFI
If you are a licensed pilot seeking advanced ratings or endorsements, flight reviews, etc, you have the flexibility to use a member CFI in the club, or bring a CFI of your choosing to provide your instruction.
Supportive Pilot community
As a member of EIFC, you’ll be a part of a group of like-minded pilots who share your enthusiasm for flight and general aviation.
Student instruction
Not a pilot yet? No problem. Work with a club-approved CFI to get your pilot’s license.
Your own set of keys
As a member of the club, you’ll be issued your own set of hangar and airplane keys. All members of the club use the same checklist for stowing the aircraft in the hangar. Which means each time you arrive at the hangar, it will seem almost as if you’re a sole owner!

Membership fee
An annual fee that covers a shared portion of the insurance policy, allowing us to keep monthly dues lower. After the first year, the fee is only 50%, and can be paid monthly or annually.
Monthly dues
These cover many of the club fixed expenses.
Hourly rates
Club hourly rates are wet tach rates. Meaning they include fuel, and are based on the tachometer of the airplane, as opposed to “hobbs”, which is based on clock time. Tach time is generally only 80-90% of hobbs time. If you fly our airplane for one hour on the clock, you will likely only be billed for 50 minutes!.
*Rates are set at the beginning of the year, and fluctuate with the price of fuel. We do our best to keep this page current, but the rates displayed above may not be the latest. Contact the club for the most current rates.
