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. When we bought our Cessna
182, 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). The aircraft has just been completely
repainted and extensively corrosion-proofed. And for your
comfort, the aircraft is cleaned and vacuumed before
each rental booking, just like a rental car.
A2. To voluntarily enhance the
reliability and safe life of our Cessna 182, all the wiring
in the wings, rear fuselage and tail has been replaced. High
intensity discharge (HID) landing, taxi and
wingtip-recognition lights have also recently been fitted.
Safety-conscious pilots will appreciate that the aircraft is
maintained to Charter/Night VFR 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.
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.
