SFC Standard Operating Procedures

SFC By-Laws
The Syracuse Flying Club is a not-for-profit membership corporation located at Syracuse Hancock International Airport in Syracuse, NY. We are dedicated to the promulgation of general aviation and providing our members with safe flying at the lowest possible cost. We welcome student pilots, private pilots, commercial pilots and ATPs. All Directors and Officers are volunteers and receive no compensation.

Advantages of a flying club

  • Lower cost than owning your own aircraft or renting.
  • Greater availability than rented: The average flying time per aircraft during a year is approximately one hour per day. The aircraft may be taken on trips that are overnight or a few days.
  • Club insurance normally covers the members' needs. FBO renters typically should carry renter's insurance.
  • Club members share experiences and flying.
