Membership
Membership is open to anyone genuinely interested in soaring and participating in a cooperative club environment; no previous experience is necessary. Members are expected to participate in Club operations. This may include recording the day's operations, helping to launch sailplanes, working on Club equipment and facilities, or working as a towpilot or glider flight instructor.
For those interested in joining the club we offer three-lesson Introductory Memberships. This offers three instructional flights to allow the rider to evaluate his or her interest in soaring.
Because all FLSC members are expected to work for the club, we are able to keep costs low.
Members are required to belong to the Soaring Society of America, which has annual dues.
