About
Prescott Flying Club is an equity-based flying club based at South Saint Paul's Fleming Field (KSGS). Our mission is to make aircraft ownership available to the common person. Our fleet of a Cirrus SR-20, a Piper Arrow, a Piper Warrior, and a Piper Archer have been substantially updated (2020 compliant, Garmin 650's in all aircraft) to provide our members with the best aircraft possible at an affordable rate. Student pilots and seasoned pilots are all welcome. Belonging to Prescott Flying Club gives you the freedom to check out a plane for a long cross country or just enjoy cheap rental rates in the local area. You can earn your private pilot's license with one of our club's CFIs or take a family trip in one of our planes. Our aircraft are maintained to the highest standards and we encourage active participation in club events throughout the year. Our policies and bylaws are structured to keep our members in the air. The number of memberships is limited to ensure aircraft availability. Go flying when you want to instead of planning around aircraft availability at the FBO or other clubs that have oversold their memberships. Prescott Flying Club has been committed to maintaining a safe, reliable fleet since our inception in 1968. Contact one of our board members today for a tour of our facilities and you will see why we have a membership full of happy pilots.
