Update it today

Please update your membership profile by going to the Members Only section of the club's website. This ensures that we have up to date contact information for you.

Other club members have access to your home, work & cell phone numbers as well as your email address. This is all stored in a secure database away from the prying eyes of search engines and spammers. Directors and staff (if we had any staff) can access your next of kin , pilot & membership information.

As part of updating your profile it is important to review and update your pilot information. This is sent to our insurance company each May. The more experience our members have the better our chances of reducing those insurance rates. The best way to help the club reduce our insurance premiums is to fly at least 10 hours a year; or better yet, 20. This, along with advanced training, are the two most significant factors in determining the club's insurance premiums.

Rental Rate Increase

Effective 1 May

It probably comes as no shock to anyone that the price of fuel has gone up significantly over the past couple of years. Every 3 cent increase per litre in fuel translates to a $1 per hour increase in our operating expense. With projections for regular unleaded MOGAS to top $1.30 later this month or early next we can expect 100LL to also continue to rise.

We last increased the hourly rate on CMQ in June 2006 when we added $2 per hour. Since then fuel has gone up more than 20 cents a litre with no end to the increases in sight.

With this in mind, the Board has deemed a rate increase as necessary and unavoidable. Effective May 1st the rental rates will be:

• Wet:$120 plus GST
• Block:$110 plus GST
• Dry: $90 plus GST
