Forms to complete before flying with Gulf Coast Aviation
2/1/2011 — Thanks for choosing Gulf Coast Aviation of New Orleans.
We’re happy to have you fly with us.
To get started here are just a few things that you will need.
You may download the attached pdf file (please allow a few minutes for download) which includes all paperwork the must be completed before flying with Gulf Coast Aviation:
1. Gulf Coast Aviation Registration Sheet
2. Gulf Coast Aviation Lease Agreement
3. Background Check Release Form
When you come in we will need to make a copy of your government issued photo ID (driver’s license), your pilot and medical certificates if you’re already a pilot.
If you do not yet have an FAA medical certificate, you can obtain one from your nearest Aviation Medical Examiner (AME). You can find an AME near you by visiting flightphysical.com
We will also need to make a copy of your proof of citizenship (birth certificate, passport, or naturalization certificate.) PER TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION (TSA) FEDERAL REGULATIONS, NO FLIGHT TRAINING CAN BE ADMINISTERED UNTIL PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED.
In our effort to protect all of us, we are ensuring that all rental pilots have the documents required by the FAA on their person before receiving the keys to an aircraft. Please be prepared to show these when picking up aircraft keys.
Once you paperwork is completed, we will set you up with a name and password to our online scheduling system. This is very convenient and will allow you to schedule yourself even if we are not in the office at the time. Of course, please realize that if you schedule in the middle of the night for a flight early the next morning, then we may not know about your reservation.
Our payment options are very flexible. We will accept check, American Express, Visa, MasterCard, or cash. Most people put down blocks on their accounts and then fly until the balance is low, others pay for each flight in person individually, or leave a card on file that we charge after each flight.
Our students are all automatically qualified to rent our aircraft once they complete their training here. We welcome anyone to rent our aircraft as they are the best in the area for taking friends on city tours or trips from New Orleans to around the region.
