Tach price vs Hobbs
Price
Our
rental rates are based on
the tachometer
speed based on hours of engine time used. The tachometer
speed, measured in tenths of an hour, only operates
close to actual clock (often recorded by a Hobbs
meter in the aircraft) when the engine is operating
at full power. Usually training or local flights
involve air maneuvering, multiple landings,
and time spent taxiing. When operating at less than
full power, the tachometer runs at a slower
speed than actual time. For instance, you
may start the engine at 12:00 noon and shut the
engine down at 1:00 pm. You would log one
hour of flight time. The tachometer may only
reflect .8 tenths of an hour (which is the average
difference between tachometer speed and actual time).
Our tachometer price per hour for the Cessna
152 of $88 X .8 = $70. A very
good price for one hour of logged flight time!

Tailwheel
Endorsement Course
Our tailwheel endorsement course
is comprised of approximately five to eight lessons
and three hours of ground school.
There is not a minimum flight hour requirement
for the endorsement, but to solo our aircraft requires 100 hours total time and at least 10 hours
of tailwheel time, as well as join our flying club.
You will perform some airwork, but most of the emphasis is on three-point
and wheel take-off and landings, crosswind
landings, ground handling and emergency procedures.
You will pay for the Citabria's tachometer
time, which is to your advantage! Here's how:
- Your fly one hour and will log one hour
of flight time
- The tachometer may only read 0.7 hours,
which is not unusual during take-off and
landing practice.
- The Citabria club rate is $113/tach hour
You
pay $113.00 x 0.7 = $79.1/ estimated actual flight hour
If you complete the training in
approximately 5 - 8 flight hours dual
and three hours of groundschool time, your cost
will be about $800-$1000. The cost and amount of
time is based on individual performance.
Before you start training you may
want to reference the following:
You are more than welcome to come
to our flight school to review the above materials.
