Flight Fees

Hookup fee is $11 per flight. Aerotow fee is $1.10 per 100 feet, minimum tow 1200'. Glider rentals are $6 for single seater and $10 for two seater gliders, per flight. There is no fee for instruction, whether on the ground or in the air.

There is a 1-hour flight duration limit when others are waiting for that aircraft, except that instructor-approved cross-country and badge flights have no duration limit. Also, the B-4 can be reserved for unlimited duration cross-country and badge flights.
