Each share is assessed monthly dues covering all fixed expenses that are incurred whether the aircraft fly or not. (e.g. aircraft insurance, hanger expenses, annual costs, etc).

Aircraft reservations are managed through flightcircle.com. This tool helps ensure that members have equal opportunities to schedule airplanes whenever and for however long they need them.
