View Full Version : Time building: $39/hr is cheap or not?
I'm looking for cheap aircraft renting for time building.
I've got $39/hr for each pilot in Piper 38, small single piston.
Do you think I should take it or not? I really like to rent it.

$39 per hour is very cheap... but you mentioned per pilot? If theres more than one of you then only one can log the time. Make sure about that from the beginning, otherwise it just may become an expensive sightseeing expedition.

CAD$?, so $30 USD? That is waaaayy too expensive!
Last time a rented a bicycle down the hotel, it was 29$ for the afternoon!
Once I rented a pedalo (pedal boat) at 35$ an hour, but I could bring 5 passengers along around the lake.
Don' t waste your money, and rent something cheaper.
Hope I have answered your question.

I remember paying $30 an hour back in 2000. Boy do I feel ripped off now.:*
But then it's actually $78 an hour isn't it? Wet or dry? That does make a difference. Is it Canadian dollars or US?

95 dollars an hour wet is general pa28 rate, in Florida anyway!
80/85 may be got but I generally found anything cheaper was extremely old/unequipped or in middle of nowhere. You might pay up to 125dollars an hour wet if not block booking 20+ hours.
It's USD not CAD, but the price includes gas.
I'm not sure about safety pilot in Canada.
I don't know how flight instructors log for their instruction time.
I heard you can log safety pilot time in US excluding T/O and ldg time...
