About Riverside Pilots Flying Club
A member-owned, non-profit flying club serving Inland Empire pilots for more than 40 years. Fly a well-maintained shared fleet — without the cost or hassle of owning your own aircraft.
Ownership perks. None of the ownership headaches.
Riverside Pilots Flying Club is a true club — owned and run by its members, not a rental counter. For four decades we've pooled our resources to keep a small, well-cared-for fleet ready to fly, so every member gets airplane-owner access at a fraction of the cost.
Aircraft are rented "wet" — fuel is included, so you fill up at any FBO and get reimbursed at a club rate, set twice a year from nearby airport prices. Each aircraft has an assigned Plane Captain, a Maintenance Officer oversees mechanical status, and our Finance Committee reviews rates twice a year in meetings open to every member. It's transparent, it's affordable, and it's built by pilots who actually fly.
Meet your 2026 board.
A volunteer board of active members keeps the club flying — approachable, experienced, and always happy to talk aviation.

Riverside Municipal Airport (KRAL)
Centrally located in the Inland Empire — an easy hop from Riverside, Corona, and the greater Southern California basin. Tower-controlled, welcoming, and the launching point for coastal runs, desert getaways, and mountain sightseeing.

Our hangar is also the clubhouse
All three aircraft live in a private club hangar that doubles as our meeting space — so preflight, hangar flying, and monthly meetings all happen in the same place, out of the sun.
