Ownership Opportunity

Cloud One is incorporated in the State of Missouri as a nonprofit organization. The state registered charter restricts the Cloud One Club to just eighteen members/owners. The club has officials which include a President, Vice President, Secretary, Maintenance Officer and Treasure. These officials, just like any corporation, are elected. Each owner/member owns  1/18th share of all assets. The assets include two aircraft, savings accounts, engine reserves, upgrades funds, interest, etc.  Cloud One is a diverse and dynamic group of folks who have come together to share their love of flying. Equally as diverse, each owner has an opportunity to fly a "complex aircraft"...the Club's Arrow, as well as, a docile, economical and practical plane...the Club's Cessna. Both of the aircraft are IFR rated and include IFR Certified GPS's as part of the avionics packages. Current Assets.

Aircraft Safety

Cloud One has always strived to make every effort to ensure the safety of our fleet. Safety remains the number one priority at Cloud One to ensure the safest operation aircraft possible. For instance, all A.D.'s are quickly resolved, the aircraft get 100 hour inspections, squawks are documented and addressed promptly, etc. The 100 inspection in addition to the annual exceeds FAA regulations for our type of ownership. Knowing the last person who flew the aircraft is an owner, coupled with the Club's safety policies, club members are comfortable with the reliability of the aircraft.

Hourly Rates

Currently, the rates are $35 for the Cessna and $45 for the Arrow per hour dry. All times are billed and based on Tach times not Hobbs time. Members enjoy up to 15% reduction in Tach Time billing compared to Hobbs time. The members are responsible for fuel, and the planes are kept toped-off at all times.

Flight Instruction

The club currently has flight instructors who are available to help you in pursuing that next rating, or just to help you stay current with your rating. We encourage the use of our approved instructors, but you may also choose to use your own instructor. New instructors are approved by the board of Directors.

Student pilots are encouraged to join and fly the Cessna until they have enough hours to qualify for the insurance on the Arrow. The current Arrow Insurance qualifications are 10 hours of Dual Complex training and 100 hours as Pilot In Command in any piston aircraft.

Family Memberships

The Club has a limited number of Family Memberships available. Only a member/owner can apply for the family membership. A flying family member may act as Pilot In Command and share the privileges of an owner/member, ie. take lessons, schedule aircraft, etc.*
