Pilots,
It is spring! -- which means a review of flight school pricing is in order, to ensure that Fly Corona remains here throughout 2007.
As you know, we pride ourselves on being the fun place to fly, and we try to keep our pricing as low as possible, and I believe we continue to do a good job of this. As insurance, fuel, maintenance, and staffing costs increase, we must periodically nudge our pricing up commensurately, as is the way with all things.
Along these lines, I present to you the following change in our pricing. As always, we "grandfather" pricing on accounts to make the change gradual and not a surprise (nobody likes surprises in aviation), so the following will take effect on Monday, April 30:
All prices remain wet and insured -- after much debate, we have decided to leave the fuel surcharge in effect, despite ridiculous fuel pricing and no relief in sight. Our fuel surcharges remain as follows:
Fuel $3.00 - $3.50/hr: $6/hr for C172, $3/hr for C150
Fuel $3.50 - $4.00/gallon: $9/hr for C172, $5/hr for C150
Fuel $4.00 - $4.50/gallon: $12/hr for C172, $7/hr for C150
Cessna 08V will be increasing from $49 to $59 per hour ($69 retail)
Cessna 68U and 20U will be increasing from $74 to $79 per hour ($89 retail)
Cessna 04H will be increasing from $79 to $89 per hour ($99 retail)
Cessna 1ES will be increasing from $99/hr to $109 per hour ($119 retail)
Cessna 17J will remain at $129/hr ($149 retail)
Flight Instruction will remain at $39/hr. ($49 retail)

As we always do, all moneys on account as of April 30 will be honored at the 2006 rates for a period of 2 months, through June 30, 2007
Prepaid packages will be completely honored at the 2006 rates for 6 months, through October 31, 2007
From all of us here at the FlyC family, we thank you for sharing the sky with us, and we look forward to sharing even more air in 2007!
Blue Skies,
- Mike
