I notice costs vary widely across the US, often by 50% or so.



Rock Hill, SC. It wasn't a club in the classic sense of the word. The

FBO ran
it and gave about $8-10 discount per hour if you joined. The dues were

only $20
/ month so it didn't take much to make it worthwhile. Also, they had a

pretty
wide selection of aircraft. As I recall there we

3 C-152
3 C-172
1 C-172RG
1 C-210
2 PA-28R-201 (one was a t-tail; one was straight)
1 PA-32-300

Sad to say, there were no twins for rent. But it seemed like a pretty

good
deal, and everything was kept up. Since most were leasebacks, the

avionics
varied a bit but all were good IFR birds except the C-152s.


That might be the big difference between your club and mine. We had a
similar line up of about a dozen aircraft, mostly 152's, 172's and two 182's
(a NA and a T182), but only the 182's were IFR capable. The NA 182 was, AIR,
$32-34 an hour. It was also only, maybe a year old. The T182 was about
$40/hr and had an RNAV.
