Pattern Altitude
In the interim until I find the right plane to buy, I’m looking for something to rent in the Port St. Lucie/Ft. Pierce/Stuart, Florida area. I’ve been to Stuart, Ft. Pierce and Okeechobee, and the only place I’ve found that rents planes requires pilots to carry a full insurance policy on the plane, with $100,000 hull coverage. So basically a regular aircraft insurance policy. I have never encountered that before; I’m fine with being on the hook for the deductible, which is fair. All the schools here seem to be 141, wearing uniforms and churning out pilots for foreign airlines.
It’s a bit of culture shock, coming from an airport with three Part 61 schools that were extremely low-key and informal.
Anyone have suggestions for a rental outfit in the area? All I’m looking for is something with steam gauges and a reliable engine to do some local flying in.
