Frequencies, patterns, and procedures specific to our home airport.

Books and online courses. Detailed regulation breakdowns.
Where to test, what to bring, how to schedule with PSI Exams.
Airman Certification Standards — the official rubric your DPE will use.

Important rules every renter and student should know.
Cancel at least 24 hours in advance — no charge. Less than 24 hours: 1-hour aircraft + instructor charge.
No-call no-shows are charged the full scheduled lesson. Three no-shows = renter privileges revoked.
Return aircraft fueled per SOP. Engine oil added as necessary — note any low oil in squawk form.
Notify dispatch ASAP if running late. Late returns affect the next pilot's schedule.
Card payments incur a 2.75% + $0.25 per-swipe processing fee. Block-time pre-pay avoids this.
