Club Facts

History
The 150th Aero Flying Club was formed in 1960 by a group of light plane fliers associated with the 150th Air National Guard, thus the origin of the name. The Club now has no connection whatsoever with the Air National Guard. Until 1969, the Club was located at Hanover Airport in Hanover, NJ. It is now based at Morristown Municipal Airport in Morristown, NJ. It is a member-owned, not-for-profit club.

Membership
Licensed, student, and zero-time pilots are permitted. Total club membership is limited to ensure reasonable availability of aircraft and currently averages about 15 members per aircraft. The Club prides itself on the competence of its members and training toward additional ratings is encouraged (several certified flight instructors are included among the Club's members.) An annual check ride with one of the Club's designated check pilots is required of each member and participation is also required in the routine care and upkeep of the club aircraft.

Costs
Costs consist of an non-refundable initiation fee, a refundable deposit, monthly dues, and hourly charges for use of the aircraft. The initiation fee is $248, the deposit, refundable upon resignation, is $1,200, and the monthly dues are currently $62. Aircraft hourly charges, which include fuel, are based on a recording tachometer.

Scheduling
Scheduling of aircraft time is done through a web-based and phone-in system. All paying members have an access number which allows them to reserve time in accordance with Club Operating Instructions (OIs). Members may reserve an aircraft for up to 14 consecutive days for vacations and trips.

Miscellaneous
Liability and hull insurance covers both the member and the Club. Each Club member is required, annually, to submit a Membership Information Update Form. Copies of the detailed Club rules are available for review. Contact the Club's Vice President for further information and/or a membership application.
