Instruction and Rental Fleet
   
All airplanes in our instruction fleet are available to rent

New "ON SALE" pricing for the 2002 Cirrus SR20.  Here is the ride you have been waiting for.  145 KTAS on 9 GPH.  Faster than the Arrow on the same fuel, and it's a simple airplane.  No gear and prop to worry about.
 

The panel is the typical "six pack" so you already know how where to look for the flight information you need, but incorporated into the Turn Coordinator is the autopilot.  The autopilot (George as we like to call it) will keep the wings level, make turns, or track the heading bug, or track the GPS course or IFR approach course.  In addition, it will hold altitude.
 
While not a "glass" cockpit, the avionics are state of the art.  Two Garmin GPS systems drive the navigation and communications.  The first is the GNS430 that also drives the Avidyne Multi-function display.  The second is the Garmin 250XL.  You already know the GPS in 54T, and this is the VFR version of the same GPS.
 
  Rental rate is $145.00  $120.00 per hour on a dry rate.  Dry means that fuel is not included in the rental rate, so you have total control of the fuel burn rate.  This is better for your wallet, and the planet.

Piper J-3C Cub

The "Cub" is one of the most challenging airplanes to fly, or maybe better said land.  Since it is a tail wheel airplane, the tail is very jealous of the engine and always wants to go first.  Naturally this concept is unacceptable so we work to keep the tail behind us on take off and landing.

 


The "Cub" is a two place airplane, and the pilot sits in the rear seat for solo operations.  Cruise speed is a whopping 70 miles per hour and with 12 gallons of fuel on board the range is about 200 miles. 
Just for fun we say, "GPS Prohibited"  Look out the window, after all how lost can you get at 70 MPH. 
  We use the "Cub" in our Sport pilot certification course, tail wheel endorsements, and pure fun.  We lovingly say that there is no more fun to be had than in the "Cub" at 70 mph.
 
  The "Cub" is a light weight airplane with a gross weight of 1200 pounds and an empty weight of 767.  this gives you 433 pounds to put in the airplane, including people, fuel, and baggage.
 
  Rental rate is $90.00 per hour on a dry rate.  Dry means that fuel is not included in the rental rate, so you have total control of the fuel burn rate.  This is better for your wallet, and the planet.

PA28-140 - 54T

The Cherokee "140" is the mainstay airplane in our training fleet.  It is an all metal low wing airplane that is built exceptionally strong to take the daily rigors of the student training environment.  It is a fun to fly plane having a sporty feeling, meaning it is very agile and responsive.  It is a capable cross country machine cruising at 130 mph using about eight and a half gallons of fuel per hour.
 

54T's panel

This 140 is N1854t and is also used in our instrument training course.  It is equipped with the latest technology in navigation and has Global Positioning System (GPS) that may be used for enroute and approaches.
 
  The rental rate for 54T is $95.00 dry.  Useful load is 763 pounds.

PA28-140 - 97T
 N2397T is our other primary and instrument trainer. 97T sports a new Garmin 430/W IFR Certified GPS and is WASS enabled. Other than that she is the same as 54T in almost every respect.

 
The rental rate for 97T is $98.00 dry.  Useful load is 763 pounds.

PA28R-200 - 50T
 The Piper Cherokee Arrow is a sleek, fast, economical airplane.  We use 50T for our Commercial Pilot and Instructor Pilot Certification courses because it has retractable landing gear and a pilot controlled propeller.  For getting from point A to B there are not a lot of planes that do a better job based on speed and fuel used.  50T cruises at 165 mph and uses only about 9 gallons of fuel per hour doing it.  Few other planes can boast these kinds of numbers. 
 
Arrow's Panel
The navigation equipment in 50T includes dual VOR, ADF, DME, and VFR GPS.

50T is a true four place airplane meaning that you may load up all 4 seats, fill the fuel, add some baggage and still not be over weight.  Most airplanes that have 4 seats have limited range with all 4 seats full of people.  Rental rate is $115.00 per hour, dry.


 
For the instrument pilot that wants to save a lot of money during training, and to stay proficient, our PCATD Simulator is the way to go.  It is certified to be used in logging of instrument time for training and currency. 

It can be configured either single or multi engine.

Rental rate is $50.00 including the instructor.
