General Policy

Credit & Billing Terms

Your monthly participation fee and the charges for your flight activity are automatically billed to your credit card each month. Participation fee is billed in advance. Flight charges are billed at the beginning of the month following the flight activity.

If credit card charges are declined, they will be immediately due and payable. If for some reason charges are not collectable, a late charge of 3% per month will be assessed and the delinquent member will be grounded until the account is paid in full.

Dual Instruction

All instruction is to be provided by instructors that have met the experience criteria of Valley Flying Club, Inc. and Valley Flyers Association. Inc., and have been approved by Valley Flying Club. They must be members of Valley Flying Club and Valley Flyers Association in order to comply with our insurance regulations. Any person receiving instruction and/or occupying the left front seat of a club aircraft must be an enrolled club member and association member.

Insurance

Rental rates include insurance on our aircraft and the members of Valley Flyers association individually. Our coverage is $100,000 per person and $1,000,000 property damage. With a deductible of only $250 not in motion and $1,000 in motion. In the event of damage the renter is responsible to the club only for the deductible amount and any costs involved in returning the aircraft to its home base that are not paid by the insurance company. Our policy does not permit subrogation. Each member is individually insured but members may wish to obtain AVEMCO or AOPA renters insurance to cover the deductible amount. The approximate cost of the insurance is $220.00/year.
