Flying Club
We are not accepting new applicants at this time.
Please check back in October.
Fly Vermont provides an affordable way for pilots to take to the skies. Our club was founded to make flying more accessible to those who share a passion for aviation.
Join Fly Vermont Flying Club and enjoy exclusive discounted hourly rates on our airplanes—significantly lower than the standard rate. As a member, you’ll also be part of a welcoming community of aviators right here at Franklin County State Airport. Save money, fly more, and connect with fellow pilots.
Scheduling is managed through PilotSchedule.com, making it easy to book flights. If your plans change, please cancel your reservation online or contact George at (802) 363-5782.

Rules & Guidelines
Membership Fees & Payments
Membership dues are $50 per month, billed quarterly at $150 in advance for three months. Paying the full amount is required for the Club Rate Discount.
Dues primarily cover maintenance and hangar fees.
Payments must be made by check, cash, or PayPal.
Failure to pay aircraft rental fees and club dues by the 15th of the billing month will result in membership suspension until all fees are paid in full.
Suspended members lose access to club aircraft.
The maximum outstanding credit allowed is $500.
Sales tax will be applied to all aircraft rentals.
Scheduling & Aircraft Usage
To ensure fair access, all members must share flying time equitably.
The club operates four aircraft, and overnight or multi-day trips require advance scheduling.
Overnight trips can be scheduled up to three months in advance.
Day-use flights may be scheduled up to two weeks in advance.
Members may not pre-schedule more than three flying days per week to allow others access. If the aircraft remains unscheduled, you may extend beyond your three reserved days.
Resolving Scheduling Conflicts
If your preferred time slot is taken, you may contact the scheduled pilot to see if they are flexible with their reservation.
If an equitable agreement cannot be reached, contact George Coy (802-363-5782) for assistance.
Required Documentation
All members must complete a Fly Vermont Aircraft Rental Pilot Information Form (attached).
Members are required to carry renter’s insurance with a minimum of:
$70,000 hull insurance for N5847U, N150VT, N99DT
$80,000 hull insurance for N172VT and N3871R
A copy of your insurance policy, medical certificate, and flight review records must be provided.
Members must update the club upon renewing medical certificates, bi-annual flight reviews, or insurance policies.
Aircraft Maintenance & Safety
Safety is a top priority. A Squawk Sheet is provided in the aircraft and must be reviewed before each flight.
If a safety issue is identified, any pilot may declare the aircraft unairworthy by placing a placard near the controls for all members to see.
Report maintenance concerns by leaving a note on George Coy’s desk or contacting him directly at (802-363-5782).
If emergency maintenance is needed at another airport, contact George Coy for authorization before proceeding.
The pilot in command is fully responsible for the safety of each flight, not the club or Fly Vermont LLC.
Checkride & Exam Scheduling
Members working on a pilot’s license or additional rating may require the aircraft for checkrides.
As examiners can be difficult to schedule and weather may cause last-minute changes, club members are expected to be flexible.
If an aircraft you have scheduled is needed for an exam, you will be contacted to coordinate.
