Hire Conditions

Bunbury Flying School is pleased to offer most of our aircraft for private hire.

Please see our standard hire conditions linked here.

In addition to our standard hire conditions, Bunbury Flying School requires private hire customers to have completed a check with a Bunbury Flying School instructor within the previous 90 days. This check will always consist of a few circuits. However, general handling may be required commensurate with your experience and recency.

A dual check is only required on the most complex aircraft intended for hire. For example, a check on the 172 will cover a customer for 172, but not the 172RG, 182RG, 206. A check on the 206 will cover a customer for all Cessna aircraft below the 206.

Night solo hire will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

We understand this may feel restrictive for some customers, however we have a duty to ensure our hiring customers are appropriately qualified and have recent experience before a hire arrangement commences.
