Flying Clubs

View all 3 clubs

Never affected by sponsorship. Free flying club listings and the A–Z school list are never reordered or affected by sponsors.

Flying clubs are member-run groups that share the cost of aircraft. Because there's no profit markup, hourly rates are often lower than at a flight school, which makes a club one of the cheapest ways to build hours after your private certificate. You also get a community: mentors, safety pilots, fly-outs, and people who know the local examiners and instructors. The trade-offs are monthly dues, a buy-in or initiation fee at many clubs, waitlists, and the fact that not every club offers instruction or accepts student pilots. Rates move with fuel prices, so confirm current costs with the club before you join.

Clubs last checked 2026-10. The file counts 3: 3 community, 0 military, 0 university, 0 school-run. Data quality in the file: partial.

Showing 3 of 3. Clubs without a published hourly rate stay at the bottom of the rate sort.

Data quality in the file: thin. Idaho has no R-ATP college and no in-state four-year pilot degree was found. The realistic paths are ATP's new Boise center or local Part 61 schools (Air-O-Drome lists $50k–$61.5k through CFII), both well under ATP's fixed price. SkyWest has a Boise pilot base.
