Flying Clubs offer the most affordable way to learn to fly; as well as providing greater availability, affordability, and choice in aircraft type than flight schools. They are also the most economical source of aircraft for certified pilots. The quality of the aircraft, as with flight schools, varies from club to club and aircraft to aircraft, but is generally very good. All of the clubs listed below voluntarily perform 100 hour inspections as well as required inspections. Information on the various clubs available in the San Diego area are provided below. FAA Certified Flight Instructors (CFI) are available through these clubs. Some clubs require that their instructors be club members, others do not. In either case, instruction fees charged by independent flight instructors are generally less than flight schools. All CFI's must meet the same FAA standards, regardless of whether they are associated with a flight school or choose to teach independently. Clubs are listed alphabetically. Note: With fuel prices rising so quickly, it is difficult to keep up with changing airplane rates. All prices were accurate as of 21 April 2008 and still provide a good basis for comparison.
