This year’s Annual Meeting will take place January 18th at Granite Air Center at the Lebanon Airport. We will discuss the last year, our budget going forward and elect new members to the board of directors. All are welcome.

2023 was a major maintenance year for the club, which happens from time to time. The 182 has completely revamped landing gear and the 172 has a new engine. The club tries to keep assessments to a minimum but this year we are having to assess members $400. Crossing fingers that next year we get back to normal.

As of January 1st, club rates are as follows: Dues: $175/mo • 172: $83/hr tach • 182: $121/hr tach.

These changes replace the pre-buy program.

The 2023 182 pre-buy is on! The club needs commitment of 300 hours of time to offer a discount of $175/hr for the 182. If you are a 182 pilot you will receive and email with details.

Due to rising fuel costs the aircraft rates have been increased to $133/hr for the 172 and $198/hr for the 182.

The club is trying an experiment. 182 pilots will be able to purchase block time in the 182 for a discounted rate of $165/hour so long as we have 300+ hours committed per year. The first option to reserve will be open May 15-29 for the period June 1-December 31, 2022.

We are sorry to report that the club cannot take additional student members for some time, probably not until some time in 2023. We recommend people looking for instruction look into Laconia, Keene or Concord flight schools.

Our Annual Meeting will be held January 23, 2022, 6pm, over Zoom. Details will be emailed to club members.

The Club Board of Directors has lifted restrictions on flight training. This does not mean all club instructors will be teaching or that an instructor who is teaching will resume a full schedule. It only means that instructors are free to decide for themselves, along with their students, when flying together makes sense. The Club COVID protocols are still in place and members are expected to comply.
