AIRCRAFT RENTAL/CHECKOUT PROGRAM
If you are a licensed pilot and would like to rent our Diamond DA20 (2-seat) or DA40 (4-seat) aircraft, we are here to help. All DFC rental pilots are required to:
Complete a self-paced, open book checkout exam on the aircraft and its avionics (for student file)
Complete the required in-flight checkout program with one of our qualified instructors (instructor will complete the competency guide in full to be retained in the student’s file)
Currency/Rental Requirements (Day or Night)
Conduct a dual, simulated forced landing during daytime hours (P180 acceptable if only staying in the circuit) and fly at least one hour flight time once every:
30 days to maintain rental currency if not currently licensed (pre ICPL Stage 7)
45 days if you hold a PPL and have less than 150 hours total time (post ICPL Stage 7)
60 days if you hold a PPL and have more than 150 hours total time (post ICPL Stage 7)
If flying at night, these currency requirements must be met at night (day currency does not count)
Night X/C flights require pilot to have a minimum of 25 hours PIC cross country time OR they must have successfully completed the VFR Nav Prog Flight Test
If flying solo, return aircraft at least 60 minutes prior to sunset
If flying dual, return aircraft at least 30 minutes prior to sunset
A 60-minute fuel reserve is required for all flights
Adhere to our Rental Weather Minima
Flying time to get checked out and cleared for rental varies from pilot to pilot due to the pilot's background knowledge of aircraft systems and avionics (i.e. glass cockpit experience) and skill level.
