About
The club owns a 1978 Cessna 172N Skyhawk, is IFR equipped. The plane has about 3400 hours TTSN, and is equipped with a Lycoming 0320 rated at 160 hp. In July 2005, the engine was replaced with a re-manufactured engine. In April 2007, a brand new Garmin GPS 430W was installed and is instrument certified. The club is very active in flying instruction. The plane is used for both student instruction, and member rental. The plane rents for $100.00 / hour wet, and requires club membership, and a checkout by the club before renting. The plane was repainted in January 2003. The club always welcomes new members. There are two types of membership. A Flying membership, and a Non Flying Membership. A Flying Membership requires a current medical, (renters insurance is well advised), a check out in the plane, and of course a one time non refundable membership fee of $250.00, and monthly dues of $16. Membership includes all of the non flying member privileges. There is also the hourly wet cost of the airplane. The club uses an online scheduling system, accessible via its website. A Non Flying Membership is $35 per year. It includes a 25 cent per gallon discount on fuel sales when charged to a club-issued fuel card, an invitation to the club meetings, held at the airport every second Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m, and the club picnic held at the Loeb State Park, 8 miles up the Chetco River from Brookings usually held the 4th weekend in September on Sunday. All food and beverages are supplied by the club.
