In addition to annual dues, members are billed a further $10 per month ($120/yr) contribution to the capital improvment fund. This fund provides the basis to modernize the glider fleet, communication equipment, navigation aids and any other necessary equipment.

Tow Pilots & Instructors: Pay $200/yr.

Family Membership: First family member pays the "A" rate; additional family members each pay the "B" rate.

Temporary Membership: a one-day $15.00 rate. Entitles the temporary member to utilize our tow operation. Does not include use of club gliders. Maximum of five per calendar year. Must be an SSA member and complete a PDF format Temporary Membership Application.

Flight Fees

Hookup fee is $11 per flight. Aerotow fee is $1.10 per 100 feet, minimum tow 1200'. Glider rentals are $6 for single seater and $10 for two seater gliders, per flight. There is no fee for instruction, whether on the ground or in the air.

Thus, for example, the typical 2-33 training flight, consisting of 2-33 rental, hookup, and 3000 foot aerotow, costs $11+$10+3*$11=$54.

There is a 1-hour flight duration limit when others are waiting for that aircraft, except that instructor-approved cross-country and badge flights have no duration limit. Also, the B-4 can be reserved for unlimited duration cross-country and badge flights.
