8-Ball Flying Club FAQ

Q: How much do the aircraft cost to fly?

A. Please see our aircraft pages for the latest wet* rates.  Our rates are measured by the tachometer and include a fuel surcharge that fluctuates based on current fuel prices - rates can and do vary. We're a non-profit organization which means we put the aircraft on the line for what it costs to operate them, period.  We challange you to find better rates for comperable aircraft ANYWHERE.

A. Yes. If you are interested in joining contact us.


Q: How much does it cost to join?

A: The buy-in is currently $3500.


Q: Are there monthly dues?

A: Yes. $140 per month cover the costs of owning all the airplanes.


Q: Does the club have an affiliated flight instructor available for training?

A: As a matter of fact, we do.


Q: I'm working with a great instructor.  Can my CFI train me in 8-Ball aircraft?

A: Yes.  A checkout for the instructor will be required.


Q: Where are the aircraft located?

A: All planes are tied down next to one another just north of the control tower on the west side of Van Nuys Airport. There is a restroom at the parking area.
