How we operate the club.
We are organized as a 501c7 nonprofit equity share Flying Club. We are all shared owners of these airplanes whether they are leased or owned by the club itself and Everyone should treat these airplanes like they are yours – because they are. We are all pilots – your membership is a family membership and includes spouses and children under 26 that are pilots.
We will run our club using sound financial principles so the club cannot just survive but thrive. As with any asset you have fixed annual cost of owning an airplane. We will cover these fixed annual costs, including Insurance, in the monthly dues before a wheel turns so that the per hour use rate can stay reasonable. We have included putting money away so we are able to keep the airplanes we have up to date and so that our club can upgrade and grow in the future. We have set the hourly rates to cover all the variable cost of running the airplanes. So there will be No surprise assessments for engine overhauls or other items.
We do not do any Primary Flight Instruction in the club airplanes but we are that next step for pilots wanting to use an airplane for travel and working on other ratings.
What's included
We cover your insurance but you are responsible for the deductible.
Your monthly Dues pay the fixed cost of owning the airplanes and the operation of the club.
Hourly Usage Fee covers the variable cost of operating the airplane and is on Tach or Flight hours.
After you have been with the club for a minimum of 18 months your Share price provides capital for the club and is refundable within 30 days after resigning from the club but theoretically could require the liquidation of assets to repay.

A STEM and NGLC program teaching young people: Leadership and Decision Making, Patriotism and Entrepreneurship.
Flight Club 502 is a non-profit 501 (c)(3), based out of Bowman Field (KLOU), Louisville, KY and is dedicated to teaching teens about leadership and success through realistic goal setting in aviation and through Next Gen/STEM education.
The organization was established in 2015 by a small group of high schooler and middle schoolers, alongside Laura Benson Jones, who wanted to inspire other students to become successful in life while using and incorporating aviation and the STEM subjects as a springboard for that success. Flight Club 502 is owned and operated by the youth members with professional adult supervision.
