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

  • Complete the required in-flight checkout program with one of our qualified instructors

  • Currency Requirements (Forced landing practice must be completed):

    • Fly at least 1 hour every 30 days to maintain rental currency if not currently licensed (under instructor supervision)

    • Fly at least 1 hour every 45 days if you hold a PPL and have less than 150 hours total time (post ICPL Stage 7)

    • Fly at least 1 hour every 60 days if you hold a PPL and have more than 150 hours total time (post ICPL Stage 7)

  • 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.
