TopFlight Aviation is described on its website as “a premier aviation club in Nashville, TN.” The organization is structured as a non-profit Tennessee corporation operating as an equity club, providing its members shared access to a small fleet of well-equipped aircraft. Its stated vision is “A High-Quality Plane for Every Mission,” and the club aims to make “the club experience the closest thing to owning your own fleet, minus all the exorbitant costs and upkeep,” by keeping a low member-to-plane ratio with what it calls best-in-class equipment. The club’s home base is John Tune Airport (KJWN) in Nashville.
Services
TopFlight Aviation provides aircraft access through club membership, along with a community and social program for pilots. The website explains that the club “is also a social club” that “provides an opportunity, venue, and resources for its members to be in community with other pilots who have a passion for general aviation, advocacy, education, and philanthropy.” Membership is open to pilots and to individuals seeking to become pilots, and members may use the club aircraft to train for an instrument rating.
The fleet consists of two Cirrus aircraft. N422RJ is a 2013 Cirrus SR22 with a Garmin 12-inch Perspective glass cockpit, Garmin digital autopilot, GMA 350 audio panel, factory air conditioning, ADSB in and out, FIKI, FLIR EVS night vision camera, and XM weather, seating five, at a dry rate of $175 per hour. N262BC is a 2010 Cirrus SR20 with a Garmin Perspective glass cockpit, Garmin digital autopilot, GMA 350c audio panel, ADSB in and out, and XM weather, seating four, at a dry rate of $135 per hour.
About
The club defines a great plane by performance, safety, modern avionics, and proper maintenance, citing high-performance equipment, professional management, CAPS and BRS parachute systems, glass cockpits, autopilots, and ADSB capability. TopFlight seeks members who are interested in long-term membership, financially stable, engaged in the social side of the club, and willing to volunteer time toward club needs such as serving in officer roles and helping with aircraft upkeep.
