About the Club
Built for long-term membership
Upper Limit Flight Club was created for certificated pilots who want more than occasional rental—whether building experience, flying for recreation, maintaining proficiency, or preparing for ownership.
The Flight Club is not a flight training organization. Flight training is provided exclusively through Upper Limit Aviation. Club membership is for recreational flying, proficiency, and time building.
Mission: make recreational flying more accessible, affordable, and enjoyable while maintaining the highest standards of safety, professionalism, and aircraft care.
Prepaid flight hours
Flying members purchase prepaid hours for a selected aircraft. Ground Crew has no prepaid hours.
Managed Aircraft Program
If your airplane sits more than it flies, ask about placing it in the club fleet to increase utilization.
How It Works
Five steps to flying with the club

Complete enrollment
Submit your membership application, provide required pilot documentation, and establish your monthly payment method.

Flying the Club
Expectations that keep everyone flying
The club is built on mutual respect, professionalism, and a shared commitment to safe flying. Membership is a privilege. ULA may suspend or terminate flying privileges when conduct, judgment, proficiency, or policy compliance compromises safety or the club.
01
Reservations
Reserve through the online system, especially for weekends, holidays, and extended trips. Cancel early if plans change so another member can fly.
02
Checkout
Approved checkout required before operating club aircraft. Additional or recurrent checkouts may be required for privileges.
03
Currency
Maintain all FAA currency for the operation you intend. The club may set additional proficiency or recency requirements for safety or insurance.
04
Aircraft care
Secure the airplane, remove trash and belongings, clean as needed, return it fueled to the tabs unless an aircraft-specific rule states otherwise, report discrepancies promptly, and leave records and equipment complete.
05
Safety first
If an aircraft has a mechanical concern or does not appear airworthy, do not fly it. Notify ULA immediately. We would rather delay a flight than compromise safety.
06
Respect
Honor reservation times, communicate schedule changes promptly, care for equipment, and treat members and staff with courtesy.
07
Personal minimums
Every pilot decides whether a flight can be conducted safely and legally. Never feel pressured by schedules or reservations.
Members must maintain renter's/non-owned aircraft insurance of at least $500,000 combined liability per occurrence, $100,000 per seat, and $65,000 for aircraft physical damage. The Tecnam P2006T requires at least $75,000 in aircraft physical-damage coverage and, unless ULA and its insurer approve otherwise in writing, two certificated pilots on board.
Aircraft availability cannot be guaranteed. Maintenance, ADs, weather, training demand, or existing reservations may limit access. Rates, membership levels, fleet offerings, and fuel charges may change as allowed by the Membership and Aircraft Use Agreement, which remains controlling.
