The Planes:
ALL RENTAL RATES INCLUDE YOUR INSURANCE AND FUEL
All of our planes are used for private, instrument and commercial training flights.
You will not find INOP stickers on our panels. If something is broken, we do not placard it. We fix it.
Our 152 is a great little IFR trainer for pilots under 170 pounds. It is equipped with dual Garmin G5's (mini glass cockpit) plus King and Garmin navcoms and GNS430 (WAAS) GPS, as well as a King ADF. The 141 horsepower LyCon rebuild engine wastes no time getting to altitude for multiple instrument approaches. Cruises at the same speed as the 172's, but slightly lower priced to help a bit with your training expenses.
Captain America (2559U) is a 1963 C-172, and is equipped with basically the same King & Garmin 430W radio package as the rest of the planes. Cap is powered by a ported and polished LyCon 0-300 engine for more horsepower than a standard 0-300. Equipped with Garmin (dual GPS) and King, Cap is a great choice for VFR and IFR training.
Our other 172 is Ray (8101X), also powered by a ported and polished LyCon rebuild. With dual WAAS Garmin 430 GPS/Navcoms and dual G5's, Ray is a perfect choice for your instrument training needs.
Another of our planes powered by a LyCon rebuild engine is our 182 "Mike". His panel includes dual GPS in the form of a Garmin GNS530 and a Garmin GNS430 (both WAAS), dual Garmin G5's, a JPI EDM900 complete engine monitoring system, a Lynx 9000 touchscreen transponder and a Garmin GFC500 autopilot. Now with traffic on both the 530 and the Lynx (which also shows wx radar, advisories, winds and wx reports), in addition to the glass and autopilot and 264 horse engine, Mike is perfect plane to do your High Performance as well as your TAA training in for a commercial license, and is an excellent back country trainer. Not available for solo rentals.
Our Classic 1947 Stinson is one of the lowest total time engines/airframes of any Stinson in the country.
It is a great plane to learn tailwheel in, but also one of the best stall trainers we have ever flown. Occasionally students from other schools come to us for help getting over the hump with stalls training, and we always put them in the Stinson. If you struggle with stalls, you should give us a call!
"Hank" (65H) is available for tailwheel endorsements, back country and dual instruction. Tailwheel time is great skill builder, and we encourage all the primary students to get a couple lessons in the taildragger to give them an even more rounded training experience. If you have been thinking about adding a new endorsement to your license, give us a call. Not available solo.
Our planes are equipped with ADS-B IN and OUT, meaning you can see the live traffic on the GPS screen. A VERY valuable tool at Idaho's busiest airport! (The Stinson is equipped with ADS-B "out", and "in" traffic is seen on the iPad on the panel.)

There are no missing digits on the readouts (the orange data) This is a result of a digital photo not able to record this type of readout correctly

The * is to warn pilots that NO weather is real live time. There is ALWAYS a delay, which can be as high as 8 minutes or more. NEVER get too close to weather, based on what you see on a screen. a
