Our Fleet

AVZ’s fleet of aircraft bring you options in your flight training based on your individual needs. Our aircraft are maintained by our in-house team, who ensure our aircraft are up to the job every day.

Wet rates include fuel and oil. Instruction, in flight or on the ground, is billed separately at $75/hr.

Due to rapidly fluctuating fuel prices, AVZ is adding a fuel surcharge to aircraft rentals (with or without instruction) based on the price of fuel. Currently, this surcharge is at $10/hr.
