2006 Skyhawk 172SP / Garmin G1000 Glass Panel
Julie is our latest and greatest, incorporating Garmin's awesome G1000 Glass Cockpit, with XM Weather and Music, Terrain, Airspace, 10.4" Color moving map, full solid-state gyro EFIS display, Traffic Information System, Mode S transponder, dual 16W Comms, dual NAV radios, and HSI/RMI representation of VOR1/2 and GPS radials.
There is NO comparison between the G1000 and anything else flying today - this is the new generation of flying safety, pilot information management, and simplicity of control and use.
Still not convinced? Ask the office for a free "Flying the Garmin G1000" training DVD to see how simple it really is! Transitions/checkouts for rental are typically 0.5 - 1.0 hr, with more detailed training available in a 3 hour course.
Skyhawk 172R / King IFR/GPS/MFD
A new flier on the line, 1ES is the youngest plane available with the round "steam gauges". Sporting a Color Moving Map GPS, MFD, and EHSI, this is a traditional IFR powerhouse. The 2-axis autopilot added to the mix makes this a comfortable XC cruiser as well.
Skyhawk 172 / Narco IFR
04H is our emerald workhorse, a perennial favorite at 130+ hours per month, 04H sees loads of sunshine and sky. Equipped with dual Narco Mk12D NavComms, and the same Cessna NACA airfoil as Julie, 04H never wants to stop flying. A solid performer, and a comfortable XC machine to boot.
Skyhawk 172 / King IFR + Garmin 250XL GPS/Comm/Moving Map
20U is our GPS-equipped runabout, consistently logging 90 hours per month, she is a light, roomy, comfortable plane with a GPS/Comm to boot. Cessna 20U represents a great flying value.
Skyhawk 172 / TKM-Cessna Digital IFR
68U should be named "old faithful", for her reliable cheerful service. 68U has made more pilots on our flightline than any other, by a wide margin, and continues to represent the fundamental Skyhawk in all of its glory. Basic and functional, with no bells and whistles, 68U cranks out VFR and IFR pilots all year long, with nary a complaint.
Cessna 150 Commuter / King VFR
Time-building? puttering around on a nice day? Cessna 630 is economical flying at its greatest, able to buzz around at 115mph, pleasantly taking in the sights. Build the hours without breaking the bank - a C150 is the ultimate in economy - Hang gliders cost more than this to rent!
Cessna 172RG "Cutlass" / Cessna IFR
Commercial student? Cross-country flyer? 25R is a 172 with retractable gear, cowl flaps, a constant speed prop, 66 gallons fuel, and 180hp -- the recipe for long cruising, at nearly 140kts. Our latest addition, with digital navcoms, and that same Cessna bulletproof design -- just with more of everything!
PA-30-160 "Twin Comanche"
IFR-GPS, DME, Autopilot
The Twin Comanche. This is professional-grade flying, with a 170kt cruise, two of everything, and a livingroom of interior space, this thing even looks fast on the ramp!
Time building, MEL/MEI, Commercial, CFI, and ATP ratings can all be done in this sleek chunk of iron. Definitely one of Piper's best, and worlds apart from the Cherokee line.
And oh so sweet to fly!
Special Block Rates are available for time-builders as follows:
25 hours: $156/hr
50 hours: $152/hr
