All rental aircraft are not the
same ...
Q1. Are you (and your
passengers) tired of rented aircraft that are unloved and
shabby inside?
Q2. Have you ever booked an
aircraft well in advance only to find it was unserviceable
on the day?
Q3. Is it fair to be charged 2
or 3 hours minimum each day, even when you haven't been
flying?
Q4. Why don't aircraft rental
companies offer standby (waitlist) bookings?
Q5. And why haven't the people
who hire out their aircraft learnt from the car rental
industry?
And here are our answers to
those questions:
A1. Our Cessna 182 is cleaned
and vacuumed before each rental booking, just like a rental
car. When necessary, we have it detailed by Australian
Aviation Detailers. And when we bought the aircraft, we
had all new windows fitted and the interior refurbished
including leather seats, 3-point seatbelts, and a
high-contrast instrument panel (and yes, all the panel
lights work).
A2. Safety-conscious pilots
will appreciate that our Cessna 182 is maintained to
IFR/Charter standards, and our company's 10-year reputation
has been built on safety, quality and reliability. If the
aircraft develops a snag before your booking, we'll notify
you as soon as we find out about it.
A3. We don't require you to fly
a minimum number of hours each day — we just have a low
($27.50 including GST) daily charge when the aircraft is not
flown.
A4. We offer standby bookings
— if you're on the waitlist, we'll notify you when a prior
booking is changed or cancelled. Ideal for IFR pilots when a
VFR booking cancels due to weather.
A5. We like the standards set
by the car rental industry and apply them to our own
aircraft. To help you with cost-sharing, we endeavour to
provide one invoice for the entire flight at the end of the
flight. And, like a rental car, we have an inclusive price
which you know in advance and can rely on. That 'package'
price includes headsets, lifejackets, and many more items
— check our consolidated
rental terms and conditions for the details in plain
English.
