All aircraft require a checkout by an AirCenter1 Certified Flight Instructor before solo flight is permitted. Minimum time requirements apply to complex aircraft. Prices do not include state and airport taxes.

In order to keep our rates as low as possible, a fuel surcharge is added, based on daily fuel prices. Deposit locks in current rate.
