OCFC aircraft rental rates are based on “tach time”. Tach time is determined by a timer which is driven by the tachometer. This timer is set by the factory such that a tach hour is equivalent to a clock hour at a relatively high RPM setting. At lower RPM settings the tach timer operates slower than clock time. In contrast, most FBOs charge on “Hobbs time”. A Hobbs hour is equivalent to a clock hour. The Hobbs timer records clock time whenever the engine is running, regardless of engine RPM. Rental rates based on tach time instead of Hobbs time can result in a significant savings to the renter, particularly during training and local flying. As a general rule of thumb tach time is roughly 80% to 90% of Hobbs time.
OCFC aircraft rental rates are “dry rates”, meaning fuel is not included. Members are required to top-off the aircraft after each flight, regardless of duration. A self-serve fuel tank is conveniently located outside of our hanger on the Southeast ramp.
The OCFC rental rates shown above include all taxes.
