IO 540
I dont run a club but I do lease two aircraft to a club , the deal is that the club fly the aircraft and pay for the fuel , oil and landing / hangarage fees etc .
I provide aircraft maintenance , insurance and all the technical support , in short they buy dry flying hours from me.
Quality maintenance is a key part of this because the people who rent the aircraft give an aircraft that is in good order much more care and respect.
I endevor to get all the snaggs fixed on the 50hr checks and as long as I GET TOLD about the snaggs then I have time to pre-order the parts.
The whole business model is to use top quality maintenance , fit top of the line radios and parts and have high utalisation , good comunication within the club is essential with on-line booking to keep the utalisation to a maximum and direct access to the engineering support via the club website.
Its a sort of easy jet of light aviation with flying costs to match.
