It's a ground and flight session with one of our instructors.
It is intended to make sure the renter pilot is familiar with our airplane, our procedures and practices, and also the airport and surrounding airspace environment.
During the ground session you will become familiar with the aircraft, the POH, the weight and balance, our checklist, and other characteristics. You might save a lot of time if you study these in advance. The POH, Checklist and W&B info are available for download on this page.
In the air you will be required to demonstrate that you have the skills and ability to safely operate the aircraft.
Completion of the check-out process does not have a time limit. It must be completed to the instructor's satisfaction.
The initial check-out process usually takes a minimum of two hours. Subsequent check-outs might require less time, at the instructor’s discretion.
The checkout procedures for the Flight Design CT-LSi S-LSA (Special Light Sport Airplane) are prescribed in the POH and are very strict. As such, they must be completed as written. Thus, the checkout will be considerably longer.
The Nebraska Flight Center has the greatest concern for the safety of our customers and students, and their passengers.
By taking extra efforts to ensure the knowledge, abilities and judgment of the pilots approved for the privilege of flying our airplanes, we not only protect you, but also your passengers and the people on the ground.
Check-out is still required.
To fly our aircraft we must have a copy of the logbook entry, signed by one of our instructors, where competency and knowledge has been demonstrated, at the instructor's discretion.
If the pilot has previous experience flying the make and model, the check-out process might be shorter, but there is no guarantee that will be the case.
We can't emphasize enough: The check-out process must be completed to the instructor's satisfaction.
Renter's insurance is not required, but it is highly recommended.
In case of a claim, our insurance policy is required to look after Nebraska Flight Center's interests, and they will pay us to satisfy the claim.
However, the insurance company might come after the renter pilot if they determine that the pilot was at fault. Renter's insurance protects the pilot in such case.
AOPA is one source for renter's insurance.
