Aircraft and Rental Fees.*
All aircraft are rented "wet," meaning that
gas and oil are fully covered by the rental cost. Planes
will be refueled upon request by Robinson Aviation. Rental
charges are assessed only for the time the engine is running.
If a member has to pay out-of-pocket for fuel at other airports,
that member will be reimbursed upon submission of a receipt
to the treasurer.

* Rates November 2007. Membership rates and fees
are subject to change. A fuel surcharge may be
added when avgas prices surge and will be reduced as
they come back down.
Scheduling Aircraft. To reserve
an aircraft, please telephone Robinson Aviation at (203) 467-9555
and tell them you wish to schedule a Yale Aviation aircraft.
(Robinson has its own club and fleet, so make sure you tell
them Yale Aviation.) The desk personnel will give you the
available times and make your reservation. If a member does
not arrive at the airport within thirty minutes of his or
her reservation time the reservation is cancelled. Members
are asked to be polite about scheduling the aircraft: cancel
reservations promptly if the flight will not be made, and
return the aircraft on time. Currently there is a $10 charge
for failing to cancel a reservation that will not be used.
In addition, dual instruction same-day cancellations are subject
to a $30 fee. Additional rules concerning scheduling are contained
in the official club regulations. In general, an aircraft
can be flown anywhere in the continental United States and
Canada, although trips lasting longer than a week need prior
approval. Flights to other destinations can be arranged with
the club officers. Please consult the Yale Aviation regulations
for complete information on scheduling.

Insurance and Checkout Requirements.
All club aircraft are covered by a master insurance policy
held by Yale Aviation Incorporated. The policy covers damage
and liability. Currently there is a $1000 deductible on any
accident caused by a member. Insurance company rules require
that each member have flown a Yale Aviation aircraft within
the past ninety days to be covered on a current flight. Members
must be checked out in each aircraft by the Chief Pilot.
