About

Flight Club 502 is a leadership development program that uses lessons in aviation to develop STEM, entrepreneurship (decision making), leadership skills and patriotism. Members can also learn how to fly!

Because we are a youth nonprofit we are able to learn to fly at a reduced price. The youth members need to take good care of the airplanes, the club and participate in club outreach. Typical flight training at a flight school would cost around $150 per hour to rent a plane plus instructor rates. At flight club the Cessna 150 is $68 per hour and the 172 is $100 per hour (the actual operating cost). The instructors are $35 per hour to be paid directly.

PARTIAL FLIGHT SCHOLARSHIPS are available: Contact Mr. Allen and Captain Rice if you want to apply for a partial scholarship. Bruce.Allen@flightclub502.org
