Fee Schedule

Non Member Services

These services do not require a CFC Membership.

Discovery Flight (Airplane Ride/ First Flight Lesson)

$175

A discovery flight is around 45 minutes of flight time. We start with a 15 minute briefing about the airplane, procedures and what we will do in the airplane. We will then take flight and allow the recipient to fly the airplane, taking us over any local sights they may be interested in. We will even let you try your hand at a landing! Afterwards, the recipient will receive a Pilot Flight Log Book and the flight counts towards your pilots license!

Flight Review

$135+

Membership is not required for a flight review in one of our aircraft. If a CFC instructor determines the pilot is likely to be able to complete a BFR in a single flight, (or one day) that pilot need not be a CFC member. Price depends on how many hours it takes the pilot to demonstrate proficiency.
