D&O Thinking Points Three distinct populations of member pilots 54% low-time VFR only, 22% average VFR/IFR, 24% CFIs + high-timers 3/4 using ‘standard’ cloned IFR trainers majority do not fly complex / high-performance Possibly slowly fine-tune club to maximum-utilization fleet composition? #1 cloned aircraft = C172 with IFR platform, short-lived squawks Example proportions: 75% C172, 15% other/medium stage, 10% complex hi-performance Minor value-added club services for daily aircraft checks? likely to have disproportionately high positive ROI effect for club aircraft utilization examples: Tach & Hobbs check, squawks, top-off, maint. scheduling, owner calls, etc. provisionally: must not cross the line of FAA responsibility 30% (~$32,000) of monthly average cash flow bank reserve buffer possibly sufficient to smooth monthly cash flow variance How might key dispatch system affect club aircraft utilization?
