FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What pilots usually ask us. If yours isn't here, send us a message below.
- What does it cost to join PGAA?
- PGAA has a fixed number of shares, so joining starts with buying a share from a departing member. The price is negotiated directly between buyer and seller. From there, membership is monthly dues plus an hourly rate when you fly. Current dues and rates are listed in the fleet section above.
- How are the hourly rates billed?
- Rates are based on tach time rather than clock time, which typically works out cheaper than renting by the Hobbs hour. The Archer and Cherokee-6 are dry rates (fuel not included); the DA40 is a wet rate (fuel included). All rates include maintenance and engine reserves.
- Can student pilots join?
- Yes. You can buy a share before you have your certificate and complete your flight training in club aircraft. Training must be done with a club-approved instructor.
- How do I get checked out in the airplanes?
- Checkout is a club test plus a sign-off from a club-approved CFI. Once you're signed off, you get your own keys and can schedule and fly on your own.
- Where are the airplanes kept?
- Our aircraft are based at Lincoln Regional Airport (KLHM) in Lincoln, California. They're hangared, not tied down outside.
- How many members share the fleet?
- We have 19 members sharing three aircraft, roughly six members per airplane, so the schedule stays open and you can actually fly when you want to.
- How does scheduling work?
- Scheduling runs on Air Boss, the club's aviation platform. Members book aircraft from the mobile app or the web with real-time availability, log their flights right from the cockpit, and report maintenance squawks so you can see any open issues on an airplane before you fly it. Air Boss also keeps the club's records: aircraft logbooks, maintenance due dates and member documents. Learn more at air-boss.club →
- How do I join?
- Shares open up when a member moves on, so we keep a waiting list. Add yourself with the form above and we'll contact you when a share becomes available. There's no obligation.
