AIRCRAFT RENTAL POLICY
All students must have approval from their instructor prior to flying solo. An aircraft checkout is required with one of our instructors prior to renting the aircraft for solo or PIC use. This must be done in the same aircraft type. All pilots must be current and have logged 3 takeoffs and landings within the preceding 90 days prior to renting any aircraft.

AOPA TRAINING LOANS
Flight training can be expensive, and the most effective way to reach your goal is to fly at least 2-3 times a week. Taking several weeks off from flying can end up costing a substantial amount more down the road, because you end up relearning your previous sessions rather than moving forward in your training. However, AOPA can help with this.
INSTRUCTORS
PRIVATE PILOT
A Private Pilot certificate is the most common among pilots today. Only below 18,000' MSL, you can carry passengers and also fly at night.
Upon receiving your private pilot
license, you may only fly in VFR weather conditions (until instrument rated). Private Pilots cannot be paid to fly passengers or property.
INSTRUMENT RATING
Waiting for the weather to improve for VFR flight can take several hours, and sometimes several days. Becoming an instrument rated pilot will allow for more options, as well as making you a much better pilot. It will have a positive outcome on aircraft insurance costs, as well as more options for both private and commercial pilots.
COMMERCIAL
A commercial certificate allows you to be paid to fly. However, many jobs require a certain amount of flight hours in their aircraft type. You must obtain a private pilot certificate prior to receiving your commercial. It also requires 250 flight hours, so many students choose to use this time to work on their instrument rating.
