Deposits:
We encourage members to prepay flight time in amounts of $100 or more. This greatly simplifies the work handled by our Treasurer.
Remember, we are a club comprised of volunteers.
Field Use Fees:
Owners of privately owned sailplanes are charged a Field Use Fee of $275/year by PIC, the
Hinckley Airport owner. WCSA processes the billings for PIC and does so on an annual basis.
Hangar Fees:
WCSA also rents a hangar from PIC in which full time and winter rental space is
available on a limited basis. Full-time storage, including PIC Field Use Fees,
is $105.00 per month. Winter storage (December-March) is $200.00 per season.
