- All renter pilots must adhere to NFl and FAR currency requirements, including the "Flight Review" and "Night Currency" requirements of FAR Part 61.57 (1994).
- Renter pilot must be 90 day current, and have rented an aircraft from NFI within 90 days to fly an aircraft without an instructor.

No renter pilot will be permitted to fly when the maximum current or forecast wind velocity is equal to or greater than 25 knots. For this limitation, wind gusts are considered the maximum wind velocity. No flying is permitted when the crosswind component exceeds 15 knots.
- It shall be the pilot's responsibility to properly pre-flight the airplane and to obtain a current weather briefing for each flight.
- All pre-flight discrepancies should be noted on an Aircraft Squawk Sheet, and the Director of Customer Services should be notified for corrective action. In-flight discrepancies should also be noted on an Aircraft Squawk Sheet and reported. Squawk Sheets can be found in the aircraft clip board, front office and the debriefing room. Only one squawk per Squawk Sheet and please be as thorough as possible.
- Prior to taxiing aircraft, the pilot shall determine that ramps and taxiways are clear of obstructions. Prior to leaving the ramp area, radio contact is to be established and maintained with ground control. Taxi speed is not to exceed approximately 10 MPH.
- No person, other than the renter pilot or an NFl flight instructor shall sit in the left seat.
- Renter pilots may not permit another person to fly the aircraft.
- Aircraft rentals are subject to minimum charges. These apply when the aircraft is booked (or used) for eight hours during our office hours of 8:00 am – 6:00 pm daily or, for each 24-hr period. The rental minimum charges are 3 hours weekdays and 4 hours weekends and holidays. Weekly minimums are 15 hours per seven-day periods.
- All aircraft must be returned at the scheduled time; if not, operations shall be notified immediately. If failure to return is weather related, the renter pilot shall bear the expense of having NFl retrieve the aircraft.
- In the event of an emergency or breakdown, the pilot shall call NFl for instructions.
- Repairs to aircraft are not to be authorized without the consent of NFl.
- Landings shall be made only at established paved airports with a minimum runway distance of 2500 feet.

Aircraft shall not be swung or taxied into their tiedown locations, but shall be shut down in the taxilane and pushed back using the aircraft's towbar.
- Payment is due upon completion of each rental and/or lesson. A current credit card is required to be kept on file with NFI.
