Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to be a member?
A $500 application fee is required to be reviewed by our Board of Directors, once approved, that converts to an ownership share in the club.
Our club dues are $120/month for hangar rental/insurance/fixed costs, and maintenance.
What does plane usage cost?
Pilots are charged only for the time that they operate the engine. Key City Fliers uses the time registered on the tachometer which results in further savings to our members.

Where do I park?
No parking hassles. Simply leave your vehicle in the hangar while you are flying.
How do I become a pilot?
All things considered, the cost to get your private pilot’s license is roughly $10,000 and is directly dependent on how much time you’re willing to dedicate to the process. If you fly 2-3 times per week, you can save some money. However, if you stretch it out over multiple years, you’ll be kicking yourself when you exceed that figure. Dedicate time to the task and knock your knowledge test out early. You’ll be a pilot in no time.
