Aircraft Rental Rates

EFA’s Cessna Authorized Service Facility maintains our fleet to the highest standards of airworthiness. Our dedicated Line Crew clean and fuel aircraft for your departure. EFA aircraft rental rates are “wet”, and fuel purchased at other airports will be credited to the renter. Rates shown below are effective March 1, 2010. They reflect only a $5.00 increase for the C-172S and Arrow, and a $6.00 increase for the C-182. (Published rates now include fuel surcharge.)

Flight Instructor Rates

* Senior Instructors: Ed Keins, Marc Nathanson. Please inquire for Michael Goulian’s rate.
Flight Training includes: Private (PVT), Instrument (INST), Commercial (COM), Multi-Engine (ME), Airline Transport Pilot (ATP), Certified Flight Instructor (CFI), Certified Flight Instructor Instrument (CFII), Aerobatics (ACRO), Unusual Attitude (UA) and Ground Instruction.

Pilots who want to train in their own aircraft must arrange to have EFA listed as a named insured party, and have their insurance carrier issue a waiver of subrogation (this is a common practice for most insurers, who do so to encourage training).

Payment & Refund Policies

EFA has several options for payment for flight training and pilot supplies. Most of our customers establish pre-payment accounts with the company. Charges for flight training and supplies are deducted from that account on a flight-by-flight basis at the conclusion of your lesson or rental. Customers may also pay for their training, rentals, or supplies on an individual basis. EFA accepts cash, checks, Visa, and MasterCard.

EFA encourages our customers who choose the pre-payment option, to maintain a positive balance in their pre-pay accounts. Our pre-payment program offers our customers a bonus of 3% for a pre-payment of $500-$999, and a bonus of 5% for a pre-payment of $1000 and above. The bonus is determined by the amount on deposit for a minimum of 24 hours.

The following refund policy applies to all funds in a customer’s pre-payment account:

• The funds deposited in a customer’s account may be withdrawn at any time upon written notice to the company. Pre-payment bonus credits are not available for refund, and will be deducted. The remaining funds will be available for refund within 30 days of the written notice.
• Funds in an account which has been inactive for two (2) or more years will only be credited for flight training or pilot supplies.
• EFA has no obligation to maintain records for accounts more that five (5) years old, and will provide refunds as above only if sufficient information exists in the company’s records.
