BFC Rental Pilots Facebook Group

Stay Connected

BFC maintains a Facebook group for rental pilots. This is a great place to connect with other renters, share trip reports, find flying partners, and stay up to date on fleet and scheduling news.

Ask the front desk for the group name and how to join, or search for the BFC Rental Pilots group on Facebook.

Designated Rental Aircraft

Certain aircraft in the BFC fleet are designated primarily for rental use by licensed pilots. These aircraft may have different booking rules than training aircraft. The designated rental aircraft are identified in the Wingman booking system.

If you are unsure which aircraft are available for rental, contact the front desk or check the Rental Rates page for the complete fleet list.

CFI Approval Required

Any rental that will exceed 4 hours of air time (including cross-country flights, day trips, and overnight rentals) requires prior approval from a Chief Flight Instructor (CFI).
