We currently maintain a fleet of 5 aircraft, 8 flight instructors, and 1 BATD Simulator. All airplane rental rates are “dry” meaning the rates do not include fuel. Aircraft rates may be changed by aircraft owners for leaseback aircraft, the Maintenance Officer, or by vote of the Board of Directors, at any time. The rates below may not be accurate, please check FlightCircle for accurate information.

Fuel is available at KNIP, the fuel prices will be posted inside the club and will be updated and automatically billed through FlightCircle. When checking in a plane, type in accurate and honest information on FlightCircle for fuel used from from our club’s fuel tank. All Piper aircraft and the Cessna 210 shall be filled to the “TABS” after each flight. If you have any issues with your account or make a billing mistake, contact a flight instructor or board member for help with a resolution.
