45 members, with some of those folks not flying much at all - "Tip o' the hat to those guys for subsidizing the rest of us"

How do cross countries and overnights work? Are they allowed?

I was just starting to like you... Until you mentioned OSU
I go to OU now, and in the summer will start my minor in the aviation program there.I'll have to look into that, I have flown into sundance quite a bit. However, I have never looked into a club over there.
Also, OklahomaAviation emailed me back about the prices and I have attached them. They seem a little high to me, but the planes look clean and well taken care of.

Even wet, that is excessive for a 172....unless it is brand new and has a G1000.

Not sure on the year, but it has 180hp engine, leather interior (with sheepskin inserts), and the garmin IFR package with 430 GPS.

Beau - were you asking me about my club? If so, then XC and overnights work well.
Members can schedule an extended trip (more than 7 days) once per year.
Trips longer than 14 days are prohibited without prior approval by the Board of Directors.
Each member can schedule and protect 2 "priority reservations" per year (not to exceed 18 days total per year).
Of course, all the above requires advanced planning, which I suck at. I'm more spur of the moment guy "weather looks awesome this morning - is there a plane available?" or "Someone cancelled for some reason (email notification) prompts me to grab a plane and go fly."

That's a pretty sweet deal. FL seems to have the best rental deals.

I think I have seen it in rental requirements at different places (to rent TAA, obviously). Also for my own experience.

Ouch. No bargains there. Reminds of Platinum near me and their Cirrus prices.

I guess there is a market for premium aircraft at premium prices.

Final Approach
In my club, the standard three hours per day but the advantage is you are paying dry rates if you do not fly so you can take a 172 for a week for $840 plus fuel and have 21 hours flight time included.
Now that I think about, if I were renting for a few days from an outfit that rents wet, I would negotiate a dry rate for any hours not flown.

I don't think I need to fly newer aircraft, at least not at that rate. In May there is a fly-in/open house at the Chickasha flight school. I may go down there and see how nice the plane is for $130...

The two FBO's I rented from charged 1/2 the daily rate for any hours needed to hit the minimum, which was probably about right given their prices, but still higher than a typical dry rate from a club.

You should not be paying anywhere near $159/hr for that, unless maybe you are in Hawaii.
alfadog
Final Approach
That is very fair considering that fuel is only about 1/3 of a typical 172 wet rental. Of course, they are not putting any time on the airplane so no mx reserve cost either.
alfadog
Final Approach
Around here that would max out at about $129/hour from an FBO.
You're in Oklahoma? So much for my theory about the New York Metro premium. Must be awash in oil money if the local population keeps the flight schools open at those rates.

Ever since getting my AC ... mainly the hangar. I get hangar neighbors dropping by or calling all the time asking me if I wouldn't mind taking their ride up to exercise it rather than mine.
Last year I was asked by two separate guys to fly their AC on my California trip rather than taking mine (these guys get WAY too busy and don't fly much). Declined the Bo offer as it hasn't been airborne in over a year, the Mooney is more active and had me thinking.

It is one of three places I have to choose from, at least fairly locally. A side note, they are not the FBO so they pay the FBO (Atlantic Aviation) for fuel. I don't know if that has anything to do with the price, but I'm sure it's a factor. Any recommendations on "cheaper" flying?
The place I rent from when taking up passengers costs me $159/hr! Now I got my ticket through the Civil Air Patrol where I can rent the plane for $29/hr + fuel, so the $159 is horrific to me! Is the $159 a reasonable rate for aviation in general? Are fractional ownership's better/worse than renting? Just some things I ponder while I'm bored.
Renting a T182T in essentially new condition for $150/hr wet but I bought and prepaid for 50 hours. FBO normally charges $200/hr.

No one should be paying that to rent but I do and anyone in the surrounding Long Island area do too. That's the going rate around here. Luckily the planes are fantastically well maintained from where I rent from so that makes stomaching the bill a little easier.
I'm going to start using the 152 more often now that the summer is around the corner. It's a nice little plane that rents out at 125 an hour with no limitations on the time you are allowed to keep the plane. Rumor has it they are getting a 182 too with a glass cockpit and XM weather and onboard traffic. That's going to be a sweet ride but I'm sure it will rent out around 190 an hour. I'll see if I can get them down to 150 an hour by trying to buy blocks of time although I'm not sure if they even do that. Worth a question I guess.

The cheapest would be to buy a $15k - $18k airplane, fly it for 300 - 400 hours over the course of a year, then sell it for what you paid. It would not be unreasonable to end up paying considerably less than $20/hr dry including tiedown, insurance, annual, and some maintenance.
Rinse and repeat.
DavidWhite
Final Approach
Problem is you are flying a 15-18k airplane. A bad annual could almost double your investment and then it doesn't sound so good on paper anymore.
Buy a nice airplane, don't keep track of how much money spend on it.
Flightsuit optional.
alfadog
Final Approach
No reason for a bad annual on a dirt simple airplane and a good pre-buy.
Oh, and "don't keep track of how much money spend on it" does not apply to many of us here.
And finally, the Luscombe I fly is that kind of airplane and I enjoy the heck out of it.

I should have said "don't ever add all the expenses up."

So the $85 is the wet price, and on top of that you pay $55/month? Just want to make sure I'm reading that correctly.
And I wont you :wink2:madtrader said:

Just curious do the prices at the below link seem reasonable to you guys? They are having an open house/fly in sometime in May that I plan to go to so I can sneak a peek at the quality of the aircraft.

Thanks! After reading through the thread I feel a little 'taken advantage of' at the flight school with the $159/hr plane. And taken advantage of may not be the best term, it just seems like there is a better deal out there that I'm missing. Also the variety at Chickasha seems better than most places.
