Flying Club Features
What do you look for in a flying club? I am currently an officer in a
flying club and we are having trouble recruiting new members. What would make you want to join a club? I feel that our prices are the main deterrent. Students (this is a school club) pay $60/hr for a C172 (dry), alumi pay $70, and all others pay $80. This is for a 1998 in good condition. The instructors usually give club members a reduced price (around $20/hr). The current club members will also loan out all training materials to further reduce the cost. Our only current activites are tower tours and fly-with-me weekends. We are in the planning stages for $100 hamburger runs with potential members. We are starting to look into purchasing a smaller plane (152/Warrior?) to further reduce the costs. Has this approach worked well for other clubs? What other suggestions can you come up with? |
