Frequently Asked Questions About Aircraft Rental

Everything you need to know about starting your flight training and reaching your aviation goals in Fort Worth, Texas.

A 'wet rate' means the cost of aviation fuel and oil is completely included in the $170 hourly price. You just pay for the time the engine is running. If you have to refuel at another airport during a cross-country flight, we credit you back for the fuel you purchased!
Yes. Our Cessna 172 Skyhawks are IFR-equipped and maintained to rigorous standards, making them perfect for instrument students or rated pilots needing to maintain their IFR currency.
You must hold the appropriate pilot certificate and medical, and complete a standard checkout flight with one of our Bird Dog Flight Services instructors to ensure you are familiar with our specific aircraft and local Fort Worth airspace procedures.
Absolutely! We love seeing our pilots use their ratings to explore. Multi-day rentals are subject to daily minimum flight hour requirements. Contact our dispatch team to coordinate your specific trip details.
