Flying Club

FlyCarolina's flying club was founded in 1996 to provide pilots an affordable alternative to aircraft ownership and a variety of aircraft types for all budgets and skill levels. Today, FlyCarolina has become one of the largest flying clubs in America. We encourage our members to take our club aircraft on long weekend getaways, multi-day vacations and business trips. We don’t just help people learn to fly we assist them throughout their aviation journey and provide our members the freedom of private aviation without the headaches and high cost of ownership or uncertainty of a partnership.

How it works

• The student membership level is for anyone who does not currently hold a pilot certificate and is renting our planes to earn a private pilot certificate
• Regular Membership is private and consists of three member levels that allow you to join at a level that suits your needs according to the type of aircraft you fly
• Access to both FlyCarolina locations and all club aircraft that you have been checked out in by a FlyCarolina instructor
• Scheduling is easy with our secure online system that is available 24/7
• Low one-time joining fee depending on member level
• Low monthly dues and a reduced hourly rate for our members
• Up to 50% of the monthly dues will be credited towards your flight charges each month you fly
• Low Overnight Minimums - Only 1.5-hour minimum per every 24 hours schedule
• Upgrade to the next level and only pay the difference on joining fee
• Only 30 day notice required to cancel membership

* Student Level is for members working towards earning a Private Pilot Certificate only. Pilots with a private pilot certificate join at the Bronze level or higher

** For Bronze level and above, half your monthly dues are credited towards flight time.

Example: As a bronze member, your monthly dues are $200 with half of that ($100) applied towards flight time. We do this to encourage our members to fly on a regular basis to maintain proficiency and a higher degree of safety
