Get the Word
out: We Need Airplanes! –
With club
airplane demand at an all-time high, particularly for good Piper
and Cessna trainers, this might perhaps be the best possible
time to lease an airplane to the club at SEE, RNM and MYF.
To help, we’ve prepared a kit including a club brochure
and example business model spreadsheets, available upon request
to qualified prospective airplane owners. In addition to
facilitating ownership cost offsets, the club may pay between
80% and 100% of extra wear or damage repairs not already covered
by insurance, plus limited downtime revenue losses, through our
exclusive Insurance Deductible Plan (IDP); the responsible
member reimburses the club for up to 20%, with a maximum of $100
for insurance claims. Contact a club officer for the kit
details.
-
PLUS ONE FLYERS GOES MORE GREEN
- Our entire airplane fleet is being equipped with new
GATS fuel sampling jars. The GATS jars allow multiple sample
collections to be returned to the fuel tank and if used properly
also strain out water and contaminants. Help protect our
environment by using the GATS fuel sample jars, and be sure to
keep them in the airplane!
