Pertinent Trip Information
- It is suggested that destinations be selected with airports having precision approach facilities, assuring the maximum probability of landing, particularly on long trips, since the user will be charged for the trip even though a landing cannot be made. Airport personnel will gladly make recommendations in regard to appropriate facilities.
- When unable to land at Albany (UNI) upon return from a trip, an alternate will be selected by the pilot after consultation with the passengers. Usually, the crew will rent a vehicle and bring the passengers to Athens if the alternate is nearby, such as Columbus or Parkersburg. There will be no charge to the passengers for the vehicle but if the trip is completed in this manner, the original charge for the trip will be made.
