How it works
River City Flying Club doesn’t employ instructors or sell training to the public — we’re a non-profit social club. But current members are welcome to train with our Board-approved independent CFI in the club aircraft, the same airplane you’ll fly as a member long after you’re certificated.
Why train with us
Train in the club’s leased Cessna 172S — the same airplane you’ll book as a member once you’re certificated. No switching aircraft partway through.
You pay the club’s standard wet rate for the airplane and your instructor directly for their time — no school overhead built into the price.
Mentorship from fellow members, fly-ins and safety meetings to learn from, and a community that’s invested in seeing you finish.
Getting started
Flight instruction is arranged directly between members and the club’s CFI, so it starts with the same application every member completes.
Once you’re a member, connect with our Board-approved instructor to set a training schedule that fits your pace and the aircraft’s availability.
Work toward a private certificate, an additional rating, or simply currency and proficiency — on your timeline, in the club’s aircraft.
