The Flying Twenty

Documents and Membership Info

Welcome to the Flying Twenty

The Flying Twenty is a Non-Profit Flight Club, for San Jose State University Students, Alumni, and Faculty. We are conveniently located at Reid-Hillview Airport in hangar row Quebec.  We provide rentals for students obtaining Part 61 flight instruction from independent CFIs which are member CFIs of the Twenties.

News

Since 2017, we have been tracking all billing live in ScheduleMaster. After flying the aircraft and returning to postflight (see attachment), and your live balance will be visible to you. These live balances include balances from before 1/1/17.

You will no longer get an statement or invoice from Nanci, instead all of your billing information will be in Schedulemaster (My Account > My Statement). Dues, fuel reimbursements, and other items will be visible here. Continue to submit fuel receipts as you have.

Payment Methods have changed.
eCheck payments, and credit card transactions in Schedulemaster are active now. eCheck processing is 0.7%. And as always, we accept checks or money orders.

These changes are due to payment processing system changes to allow us to have online, instantly viewable running balances and payment options integrated into ScheduleMaster. These changes allow us to be more efficient as an organization and help you keep track of your balance better.

Our Club Meetings are now the same day as the plane wash (Morning plane wash at the wash rack), noon Club Meeting at the main terminal building 2500 Cunningham Avenue.

Gami G100UL

Many concerns have been brought to the attention of the Board of Officers regarding the potential threats of using Gami’s 100 octane unleaded fuel (G100UL) in club aircraft. Due to our lack of confidence in G100UL, we request that members strictly use SwiftFuels’ UL94 or standard 100 low-leaded fuels when available.

We look forward to SwiftFuels expanding the availability of their 100R unleaded avgas at Reid-Hillview Airport and acquiring the proper supplemental type certificate (STC) when it is available, tested, and approved by Textron and Lycoming.
