Renting a sailplane
Is there anyone out there with an aircraft near Penn
State they'd be willing to rent out for a week around thanksgiving for the right price??? I'm a sensible pilot with a good record and good money to spend. Cheers, Nick Smith |

I'm a sensible pilot with a good record and good money to spend. Anyone considering this offer should bear in mind that this will likely put you into the commercial operator category and you should be fully cognizant of all FARs and insurance issues before proceeding. Your glider will probably need a type certificate (not experimental), a 100 hour inspection, and your insurance will likely be null and void (the renter could obtain A/C renters insurance). And don't assume that this is an inclusive list because I am not a commercial operator (you could always call one for advice). Tom |

Renting a sailplane
I know there may be some paperwork and cost involved
but I'm just interested in whether it's worth my investigating further. It's also a big undertaking to lend a private ship out; I understand that and can reassure anyone that my experience is quite broad in a variety of gliding environments. Cheers, Nick Smith Please mail me at for any private mail.

And don't assume that this is an inclusive list because I am not a commercial operator (you could always call one for advice). Tom There are two separate and distinct categories of requirements to be met, the insurers and the FARs. Guest pilot coverage is available to the owner under some plans, however, the user should have renter/non-owner coverage. Commercial coverage may not be required, but a thorough reading of your policy and limits are needed. The insurers requirements may be the harder to meet. Since no passengers, only crew, are carried, there is no TC requirement. Generally, unless specifically prohibited in the FARs, it's permitted. If you can show me a prohibition in the FARs, I'd like to see it, as I have seen experimental single place gliders on the renter line at FBOs. There have been some subtle changes in the FARs with the inclusion of LSA into the mix. Frank Whiteley |
