Tips for
Renters:
-
Copies of Logbook: Make copies of your logbook in the unfortunate event your
logbook gets lost or stolen. Copies will make the process
of recovering your hours less stressful. Keep the copies in
a fire protection safe or make an additional copy to keep at
a close family or friend's house.

-
Plane Etiquette: After you fly, we ask that you leave the plane the way you
would like the aircraft to look before you fly. Take your
garbage with you and secure the aircraft. Do not leave any
oil quarts, windshield cleaner, etc. in the aircraft.
(Back to top)
-
Procedures for renting overnight: Minimum
per overnight charge is three (3) hours. If you purchase fuel, turn in your original receipt
that shows the number of gallons purchased and the unit
price. Flight 101 reimburses up to the amount of fuel per
gallon that we pay. If an unfortunate mechanical situation
occurs with the aircraft, contact Flight 101 prior to
contacting a local mechanic, we usually can fix the
situation internally for a lot less than outsourcing. You
are responsible for any fees during your trip such as
landing fees. (Back to top)
-
Landing Light INOP:
Do not use the landing light during the day, this includes
in the traffic pattern during the day. The landing light
useful life is only 20 hours! Minimized use will reduce inop light situations during night landings.
