RENTING FROM PRIVATE OWNER

Post by IRONCANUCK »

What is the best way to approach a private owner of a 152 or 172 to rent his/her plane?

I am a PPL with 130 hours.

Offer to purchase a "block" of hours (eg 100) and also offer to pay an insurance policy which covers on the aircraft for several million dollars liability and hull-in-motion.

Always return the aircraft full of gas, with the windshield clean and no garbage left inside. It helps if you have a shiny (but not necessarily new) car that shows that you take care of stuff.

Get a checkout on that aircraft from a local instructor, then take the owner flying to make him happy about your stick & rudder skills.

Frankly, I think it's easier and a lot less trouble to get into the pants of an aircraft owner's wife.

From out of the sun, 6 oclock high!



Sorry, but this thread has been sitting here for days calling to me to post that.

Hedley gave you some good advice already, so I've come to terms with my useless remark that adds little to the post.


Good luck!
