charlicopter Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Hey all, I'm thinking about putting together a sort of "renter's checklist" to give my students...I want it to be a comprehensive list of all the things to look out for/keep in mind when renting from an unfamiliar operator. Obviously there will be things like:-Airframe/powerplant logbook; Documentation - Current entries? AD compliance? 100-hour/Annual? Annual inspected by the IA? POH in order? AROW? -Operators insurance? Renters insurance? -Thorough preflight of aircraft... Dash-4 blades on R-22, New double-rivited tailcone assy? Etc... Clean, tidy aircraft? Accident history? -Face to face with the mechanic & operator... -Is the price unusually high/low? Stuff like that. I am also of the opinion that one should never rent an unfamiliar Robinson helicopter until having attended the Robinson Safety Course... At which time they should have a more complete grasp of the mechanical side of that particular Make of helicopter.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.Many thanks -Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
