Remarks: For club member rates, $450 must be placed on deposit. Monthly Dues are $26. While the name includes "Club", I am including this in the Flying School Area because it is not a non-profit organization, it's rates are higher than the typical club, and membership is not required for rental, though non-members will not receive the discount rate. Golden State offers a 40 hour Ground School. for $225. Aircraft may be rented at Retail rates by non-club members who have satisfied the checkout requirements.
