SMAC360 Own, Rent, or Flying Club?

For many pilots, one of the biggest questions after earning a certificate—or while building experience—is how to get consistent access to an airplane.

Should you keep renting? Join a flying club? Or take the leap into aircraft ownership?

Each option comes with advantages, tradeoffs, and costs that go well beyond the hourly rental rate or aircraft purchase price.

In this episode of Stuck Mic AvCast, we break down the practical considerations pilots should think about before deciding whether to buy, rent, or join a flying club.

SMAC359 How to Handle a Pilot Deviation with Aviation Attorney Chris Pezalla

You just landed after a challenging flight when the controller says, ‘Possible pilot deviation—advise you contact the facility.’ What should you do next? Should you immediately make the call? Should you explain what happened? And could your pilot certificate be at risk?

A possible pilot deviation does not automatically mean the end of your flying career. Your immediate priority is operating the aircraft safely. After landing, slow down, document what happened, understand your reporting deadlines and obtain qualified guidance before making decisions that could affect your certificate or career.
