Aircraft rental for student instruction
Asked by: Wheels Wings n Strings 4089 views Flight Instructor, General Aviation, Student Pilot
Hello all,
I have a friend who has recently retired from his work career, obtained all the required ratings, and become a CFI. He has been flying for 35 years as a private pilot, but owns and operates an experimental. Therefore, Im to understand he cannot instruct in it.
I own a PA-28 and am wondering about occaisionally renting it out for him to use while instructing students. Does anyone have information on the requirements etc to do this? I understand the 100 hr inspection requirement.
Would the CFI rent it or would the student provide insurance etc.?
And what about soloing?
Im not looking to make money or necessarily start a business. I would just like to see people learn how to fly and help my CFI friend by having an airplane available occaisionally, for instructional purposes. He is getting a lot of interest by people who want to start instruction, and has been busy with clubs and others who own airplanes already, but what about those who come to him who are not in a club etc.?
It seems quite difficult for someone to begin to get instruction unless they are part of a club or can find an instructor with their own airplane, or go to a FBO flight school of some sort.
