Annual membership fees are due April 1^st and cover the period until March 31^st the following year. The membership fee is prorated for anyone joining the club after April 1^st.

Our aircraft is always hangared with 30 gal of fuel in the tanks. When you return from your flight, you must replace the fuel you used, returning the tanks to 30 gal.

For standard wet (fuel included) rentals; when you fill out your invoice, attach your fuel receipt and deduct the fuel cost from the amount you owe.

For extended (dry) rentals, you are responsible for the cost of fuel and must only ensure that the tanks are filled to 30 gal when you return the aircraft to the hangar.

Due to the skyrocketing cost of Avgas, we’ve been forced to apply a fuel surcharge. The surcharge is applied to all wet rates when the cost of fuel is in excess of $3.15 per litre.

For example; if fuel is $3.20 per litre and you use 100 litres, the surcharge is $5.00 ($0.05 x 100).

The cost of oil is included in all rental rates. Make sure that you take enough oil with you for your trip. Containers of oil are available in the hangar. You simply need to record the amount of oil used on your invoice.

Note: Always use the full container of oil when filling the engine. The minimum amount of oil in the engine is 6 qt, as measured on the oil dipstick. The maximum is 8 qt.

If you must purchase oil during your trip, it is very important to ensure that you are purchasing the correct oil. If in any doubt, check with the Person Responsible for Maintenance (PRM) to ensure you are purchasing the correct oil. Keep your receipt and attach it to your invoice when you return, deducting the cost from the amount you owe.

Annually, in April, all Flying members must purchase 5 hours of block time at the Block Rental (Wet) rate. HST is not charged until the block time is used. The members are then able to use that time to rent the aircraft at the Block Rental rate. The benefit to the members is that they are able to take advantage of the block rate without having to purchase the typical minimum of 10 hours.

Members who have $1000 or more in their block account on April 1^st are not required to purchase more block time. However, if they wish, they may still take advantage of adding the additional 5 hours to their account at the reduced rate.

The 5-hour block time purchase in April is both a minimum and a maximum. Other than the 5 hours, block time must be purchased in increments of at least 10 hours.

Block time can be purchased at any time (in advance of the flight for which it is to be applied). However, other than the mandatory 5-hour block time purchase in April, block time requires a minimum purchase of 10 hours at the Block Rental rate.

Yes. However, you must first receive approval from the Board of Directors.

In the event that you wish to take the aircraft away for one night only, with the intent of putting on less than the minimum 5 hours required for an extended rental, flight time will be charged at the Standard or Block Rental (Wet) rate. Overnight trips are defined as commencing after 1500 (local) and returning before 1100 the following morning. The minimum billing time for an overnight trip is 2 hours during the week (Mon-Fri) and 3 hours on weekends (Sat-Sun) or statutory holidays.

Extended rentals have a minimum of 5 hours of flight time. A minimum of 2 hours of flight time is required for each week day (Mon-Fri) and 3 hours for each weekend day (Sat-Sun) or statutory holiday that the aircraft is away.

Extended rentals are charged at the Extended or Block Extended (Dry) rental rate. The renter is responsible to pay for all fuel used during the trip. This typically means that the trip will begin with the aircraft having the standard 30 gal in the tanks. The aircraft must then be returned with the same amount.

All extended rentals must be pre-approved by the Board of Directors. This is not an attempt to restrict anyone’s use of the aircraft – rather, it is to ensure that there are no scheduling conflicts or maintenance concerns.

Any unscheduled maintenance that may be required while you are away MUST be pre-approved by the Board of Directors before any work is done.

Our aircraft is equipped with a Hobbs hour meter, which records the time that the engine is running. This is used to calculate flight time.
