Aircraft Rental Rates

• AIR-CONDITIONED AIRCRAFT!!!  The many of Sawyer Aviation's training fleet and all of its charter aircraft are air-conditioned.  Arizona is home to great flying weather and 360-days of sunshine.  However, there can sometimes be too much of a good thing.  For those extra-sunny days, Sawyer Aviation's aircraft keep you cool, comfortable, and dry - flying year-round. The only time you might perspire at Sawyer Aviation is while passing  your FAA written test.
• WHAT'S NEW...OUR THREE NEW 2005-2008 AIRCRAFT!!! Sawyer Aviation's aircraft are all 2004 or newer.  Aircraft are detailed every week and undergo rigorous maintenance to make sure your next flight is safe, reliable & enjoyable. Come see the new 2008 G3 Turbo Cirrus SR-22 with synthetic vision, Garmin Perspective Avionics system and AIR-CONDITIONING.
• CHECK THIS OUT!!! Aircraft checkout procedures require a minimum of a Biennial Flight Review* for first time renters - minimum of 1hr-2hrs of flight & 1hr-2hrs of ground instruction for current & proficient pilots. A successful aircraft checkout at the end of a scheduled BFR/Checkout session is not guaranteed by default, subject to pilot performance within his-or-her minimum FAA private-pilot & rated standards and at the discretion of the Sawyer Aviation Instructor.  A checkout is required for each model of aircraft to be rented (solo).  Sawyer Aviation graduates who have received a rating at Sawyer Aviation, within the preceding 12-months in the same model of aircraft to be rented, automatically meet the checkout requirements for C-172 aircraft. A minimum of three-flight hours are required for a checkout in G1000 equipped aircraft. This policy is reverse compatible for the analog equivalent of the same model of aircraft (e.g. Checkout in C-172SP with G1000 = checkout in non-G1000 [analog] C-172SP). Twin-engine, DA-42 Twinstar, composite, complex & high performance aircraft checkout requirements may vary, call Sawyer Aviation for details. *BFR may be substituted with ICC & VFR maneuvers at instructor's discretion.  Pilots must hold a current third-class medical, have a valid credit card on-file & sign an aircraft rental agreement prior to any rental, solo or dual flight. >> NEW:DA-42 Ground School schedule
• FUEL INCLUDED. Sawyer Aviation aircraft are rented with fuel included "wet" unless noted otherwise.  Fuel from other airports are reimbursed at  actual cost/gallon paid or at Sawyer Aviation (KSDL) base rate whichever is less. Contact Sawyer Aviation for current base-rate. Pilot responsible for any landing and/or ramp fees incurred away from base airport (KSDL). All prices, terms & conditions subject to change without prior notification.
• WHEN YOU ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY HAVE TO BE THERE OVERNIGHT, No problem at Sawyer Aviation.  Sawyer allows you to take the aircraft overnight, for a weekend or for a long cross-country adventure. There is simply a three-hour average-daily minimum (per 24-hr period).  Early morning rental available by prior arrangement, call 480-922-5221 to schedule.
• PROTECT YOURSELF with renter's insurance. Sawyer Aviation strongly recommends you protect yourself when you fly with Renter’s Insurance. Renter, even as a student pilot, is responsible for any deductibles ($5,000 recommended) regardless of any wrong-doing / negligence on the part of the renter, any & all damage to third-party persons / property and may be subrogated against by primary aircraft's insurance-policy underwriter for primary aircraft damage / loss. Renter's Insurance offers protection against these risks and follows you the renter to many places that you may go. Contact AVEMCO for additional details.
