We get asked a lot.

Just email us at information@lvfc.org — someone will get back to you. We're also happy to have you stop by a meeting or come see the hangar.

The easiest first step is coming to one of our monthly meetings or dropping us an email at information@lvfc.org. We'll walk you through the process — there's no hard sell, just a conversation about the club.

Three Piper Archers — a 2001 Archer III (N52326) and two Archer IIs from 1978 (N2885D) and 1976 (N39DR). All three are IFR with modern avionics. Full specs are on the Fleet page.

All three planes are /hr, billed wet on Tach time. Wet means fuel is included — no surprises at the pump. Tach time means you're only paying while the engine is running, which usually works out to fewer billed hours than Hobbs-based FBO rentals.

Hobbs runs any time the master switch is on. Tach time only counts while the engine is actually turning at cruise RPM — so taxi time, run-ups, and idle don't accumulate at the same rate. In practice it usually saves you a noticeable amount per flight compared to FBO Hobbs billing.

Yes. Under the FAA's MOSAIC rule, fully in effect as of 2025, sport pilot certificate holders are eligible to fly four-seat aircraft like our Piper Archers, provided stall speed requirements are met and they carry no more than one passenger.
