This is a question that keeps coming up with Fly Time. So we WILL deliver! Block rates can discussed with Dave. There are far to many variables to put an A + B = C equation. Contact Dave to discuss how much block time you would like to receive.
NEW AIRPLANE: Cessna 172H 180HP Constant Speed Propeller
To have access to this airplane you will need a solid foundation of knowledge on operating a constant speed propeller. While this is not particularly difficult, improper operation could be catastrophic. Training can be conducted on this and will be a case by case basis.

- New seats! - New seats are being installed. In the mean time we are swapping out loaner seats so the planes can still fly. They aren't like our normal seats, but the FAA would frown on using milk crates. Thanks for your flexibility in dealing with this transition time. It will pay off in the end!
- We Need Help - Maintenance is paramount. We have been hit by the A&P bug. Our maintainer group is shrinking. If you are or know an A&P that would like to build skills or get lower flying time cost Please send Dave an email [email protected] Even if you are a mechanic that would like to change careers, we are here to help with that!
- Skydivers - Please remember the season is getting in motion for all of aviation, especially the people who jump out of perfectly good airplanes, for "fun". Please remember we have a lot of that going on in the valley and more importantly where most of us fly, in the practice area. Familiarize yourself with these areas and be aware PLEASE. One is Hidden Valley which is just west of Maricopa town. All can be found on the VFR chart.
