Book It Yourself
Real availability for every tail number on the line. Take the slot, and it holds while we confirm your currency for that category and class.
Honest metering
Hobbs Time Only
You record Hobbs out and Hobbs in from your account. Wet rate covers fuel and oil uplifted at KPGD. Fuel bought off-field is not reimbursed; where agreed in advance it is credited at $5.00 per gallon. No club dues, no mystery line items.
Pre-qualified
Screen Before You Ask
Check your medical, flight review and insurance against each aircraft's minimums in about twenty seconds.
Process
How renting here works
01
Create your pilot account
Certificate, medical, flight review and insurance details in one form. Nothing is charged at this stage.
02
Screen against the minimums
Every aircraft publishes its own minimums. The screening tool tells you where you stand before you ask for a slot.
03
Take the slot instantly
Pick your date and time on the live schedule. The slot holds under your name while we verify your documents.
04
Fly, then record Hobbs
Enter Hobbs out and Hobbs in from your account. The invoice is the difference multiplied by your rate — nothing else.
Why pilots trust the operation
We Publish The Parts Other Operators Keep In A Drawer
Inspection cadence, squawk handling, who can ground the airplane, what the insurance covers, and exactly how a cancellation is treated. All of it is written down before you hand over a dollar.
