Flying Members<\/strong><\/p>\n

The “flying member” status is for those who want to fly club planes. This includes those wanting to train for their pilot certificate as well as those that already hold a private pilot certificate and just wish to fly. Flying members pay a small entry fee, and then monthly dues of just $25 to offset fixed expenses, such as hanger fees and insurance. Flying members are provided with their own set of plane keys and access to an online scheduler<\/a> to reserve up to 8 hours of time.<\/p>\n

Initial fees break down this way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

If you would like to become a flying member please contact the Club Treasurer, Ian Riley, by email (Send email<\/a>) or by phone (207-745-0221, weekends and after 5pm weekdays).<\/p>\n

Persons interested in becoming a flying member must also complete this application<\/a> to fly the plane(s) owned or managed by the club. This new form also covers those wanting to fly the University owned Cessna 172SP with G1000.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a>Introductory Members<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not sure if you want to commit to becoming a flying member, but want to experience what it’s like to fly? No problem. The Club has created an introductory membership which allows you to experience flight without needing to join as a full, flying member. Introductory members can fly up to 2 hours within one month’s time, and only need to pay for the cost of the plane rental (which starts at $80 per hour) and their instructor (starting at ~$50 per hour).<\/p>\n

If you would like to try flight as an introductory member contact please contact the Club Treasurer, Ian Riley, by email (Send email<\/a>) or by phone (207-745-0221).<\/p>\n

\n

Introductory Student Member<\/strong><\/p>\n

For students at the University of Maine we offer an introductory membership similar to the normal introductory membership, except they are allowed up to 10 hours of flying time with a CFI without dues or other membership fees. If interested, contact the Club Treasurer, Ian Riley, by email (Send email<\/a>) or by phone (207-745-0221).<\/p>\n

\n

Non-Flying Members<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are not ready to fly but would still like to be involved with the club, you may join as a non-flying member for free. Non-flying members often join to learn more about the process of earning a private pilot’s license, or due to a general interest in aviation. Furthermore, we try to get non-flying members that come to club meetings up for a ride!<\/p>\n

If you would like be to a non-flying member, please contact the Club President (see Contacts page<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\n

Certified Flight Instructors<\/strong><\/p>\n

The University Flying Club works closely with Certified Flight Instructors (CFIs) to ensure quality flight training. The club maintains a\u00a0list of club instructors<\/a>. Any CFI who would like to be added to this list (or perhaps just instruct a single student, but stay off the list) should contact the Club Treasurer, Ian Riley, by email (Send email<\/a>) or by phone (207-745-0221)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
