About UsThe Santa Barbara Flying Club currently has two aircraft based at SBA: a Cessna 172 Skyhawk and a Grumman AA-5B Tiger. Both planes are IFR certified and ADS-B compliant. The Skyhawk has a GNS 430, and the Tiger has a GTN 650 touch screen (both are moving map combined GPS, ILS and COM1).
As a club we effectively rent these airplanes to ourselves for cost, so our members are guaranteed the best value for their money. We use tach time billing. It's the most accurate way to account for expense and amounts to as much as a 30% discount, especially when the power is back for much of the flight, doing maneuvers or "Touch and GOs". Both planes have 4 place intercoms and can be scheduled on-line by our members for trips as long as 10 days with no minimum flight time requirement. That's perfect for cross country flights! Better yet, as a member you receive your own set of keys to each airplane. This eliminates any last minute hassle from having to check in and out at a desk. It's as if you owned it, the airplane is waiting for you to arrive… 24/7. Rates/Dues as of February 2019

Santa Barbara Flying Club ![]() ![]() What's the Best Part About Our Club?The best part about our Club is the low member to airplane ratio, which allows easy access to planes when you want to fly. The Club works well for all phases of flight instruction, sightseers, and cross-country enthusiasts. |
