Centennial Flyers is launch customer for the Cosmic One
We've signed on as launch customer for the Cosmic One — a four-seat all-electric aircraft from Denver-based Cosmic Aerospace — with four aircraft on order and options for two more. Its embedded-wing architecture gives it multi-engine redundancy, and it's designed for the FAA's new MOSAIC pathway, with first deliveries targeted around 2029. Centennial Aero-Tech is the intended Rocky Mountain service center. Reservations are open at cosmicaerospace.com/one.

InsuranceWhat the club covers, what you cover
The club carries $1,000,000 per occurrence aircraft liability, including passengers, limited to $100,000 per passenger.
Renter's insurance is not provided. You're responsible for the deductible: $5,000 single engine, $10,000 multi engine, through your own non-owned policy or the club pool.
The club strongly recommends your own non-owned aircraft liability policy.
Code of conductTreat it like your own
Treat the airplane like your own, and fly it by the POH. No abusing the engine, no flaps or gear above their limit speeds.
Approved uses only. Commercial use such as aerial photography, or landing on strips the FAA doesn't recognize, can get you dismissed and may void the insurance.
Always use the checklists.
Away from home, secure it properly. Hangar it if it lives in a hangar, get it inside if severe weather threatens, and install gust locks.
Get it back on schedule. Leave ahead of weather, and call early if you'll be late. There's a 15 minute grace period.
Call the club before authorizing any maintenance away from KAPA. Don't let an unfamiliar shop talk you into flying an unairworthy airplane home.
If you leave it somewhere, you're responsible for getting it back, at your expense.
Before turning in the keys: walk around again, report squawks, run the securing checklist, clean the windows and take your trash. Leave it better than you found it.

Yes. We charge a minimum of 2 hours per day average flight time — far friendlier than typical overnight policies.

What payment methods do you accept?
Major credit and debit cards, plus ACH.

Office is staffed roughly 8a–5p daily (appointments recommended — we might be out flying). Aircraft scheduling is 24/7/365 once you're a member.
All members provide proof of non-owned renters insurance or enroll in the insurance pool. Outside policies must cover the deductible: $5,000 single-engine, $10,000 multi-engine.
KAPA field elevation is 5,885 ft. On a warm afternoon your density altitude can top 9,000 ft. Check it before you go.
