Flex Air Student Solo Policies

At Flex Air, student solo flights are subject to the following policies to ensure safety and proper training:

  1. Notification and Endorsement:

    • All student pilot solos require prior notification via email to the Chief Pilot.
    • Students must be properly endorsed by their instructor and successfully complete the Flex Air pre-solo written exam.
  2. Instructor Responsibility:

    • It is the responsibility of the instructor to ensure students are prepared and appropriately endorsed for any solo flight​​.
  3. Solo Flight Check-In:

    • Solo flights or rentals must be checked in by the student or renter by the end of the day. Failure to check-in may result in a penalty​​.
  4. Fueling Procedures:

    • Solo students who purchase off-site fuel should submit the receipt with a reimbursement request using the online form. Reimbursement will be added to their paperless account at local rates​​.
  5. Adherence to Endorsement Limitations:

    • Student pilots are required to remain within the limitations of their endorsement at all times​​.
