Aircraft Rental

Aircraft

  • PIPER Cherokee PA-28-180

Not all airplanes are created equal, and this can be especially true for trainers. Your trainer plane can make or break you as a student pilot. 5B Aviation utilizes the Piper Cherokee PA-28-180. Piper designed the Piper PA-28 for training. Its all-metal, piston-powered, light airframe and low wings, along with tricycle land gear configuration, makes it ideal for pilots who are new to the skies.

  • RedBird MCX

Training from First Solo to Multi-Crew?. You can hone your flight experience and knowledge through simulated exercises with State of the Art RedBird Simulator. The MCX includes a dual, control-loading yoke system and dual rudder pedals for simultaneous pilot and copilot control in addition to the impressive features found on other Redbird full-motion simulators. When you add this dual control system to the MCX's wrap-around visuals, quick change cockpit configurations, and extensive government approvals, the MCX becomes a truly powerful training tool.

  • Piper Seminole PA44-180

Stepping up to multiengine aircraft is both challenging and fun. Piper created the Seminole as the ideal twin trainer – complex yet manageable. Like the Cherokees, it is an all-metal, low-wing design but with 2 engines. The avionics are the same as the Cherokees to make transition to this aircraft as seamless as possible. If considering a Commercial license, the FAA requires at least 10 hours in a complex aircraft – meaning retractable landing gear and variable pitch propellers. So students could use this training to add a complex endorsement and multiengine class rating.
