15. Bookings

Aircraft, simulator and/or instructors can be booked in person, over the phone or on-line at: http://pacificflying.no-ip.com. The following booking chart outlines the minimum booking time required for specific activities.

Aircraft and Instructor Bookings (suggested minimum hours)

  RENTAL DUAL FLIGHT SOLO FLIGHT FLIGHT TEST CHECK RIDE MOUNTAIN CHECK CURRENCY RIDE
AIRCRAFT 2 hours 2 hours 2 hours 3 hours 2 hours 3 hours 1 hour
INSTRUCTOR   2 hours Supervise if needed   2 hours 3 hours 1 hour
TRANSPORT       3 hours      

The additional time is allowance for members to complete their safety walk around prior to the flight. Following their flight, members are encouraged to call for fuel, clean the windscreen, ensure that all trash is removed from the aircraft and return the aircraft books and keys to dispatch at least 10 minutes before the hour.

The following protocol applies to bookings:

Renters and students will be normally charged only the Hobbs (engine running) time used.

In the event of a great disparity between the Hobbs time and the time booked the charge will be based on the Hobbs time or 50% of the time booked, whichever is greater.
  • Full day bookings in the summer (May through September) will be charged a minimum of four hours.
  • Full day bookings during the week in the winter (October through April) will be charged a minimum of three hours. Weekends will have a four hour minimum charge.
Where the Hobbs time is less than the minimum charge time, the difference between the two times will be charged at $35.00 per hour.
A member returning an aeroplane late by over fifteen minutes will be assessed a $50.00 late fee. The fee will be credited to the inconvenienced member who had to wait or cancel their flight because of the delay. Note that the Club does not profit from this policy.

Licensed pilots may be assessed a no-show fee based on a rate of:
    • $40.00 for a two-seat aircraft.
    • $50.00 for a four-seat aircraft.
    • $65.00 for the twin.
In the case that a member is more that 20 minutes late for a booking and does not notify dispatch of the delay, the Club reserves the right to release the aircraft to another member.

Questions regarding the above policies should be directed to Patricia Kennedy.
