For the “Renters Checkout” are no minimum hours or minimum cost specified. It will only take as long as necessary for you to demonstrate to one of our Flight Instructors that you are a safe and capable pilot. We will check in the following areas:

• Aircraft handling through the usual maneuvers (Slowflight, Stalls, Steep Turns etc.)
• Takeoffs and Landings at both towered and non-towered airports, Crosswind landings
• Navigation
• Federal Aviation Regulations
• Introduction to the Equipment installed (GPS, Autopilot etc.)
