There's more to flying an airplane than simply manipulating the controls. As a pilot you're a navigator, radio operator, meteorologist, troubleshooter, technician, computer operator and so on. But more than anything else, you're a judge and decision maker. Aeronautical decision making and judgment, more than any other area of aeronautical knowledge, has the greatest impact on the safety of flight. This will be a fun and interactive seminar, as well as a challenging journey of self-discovery, as we dig deep to take a good hard look into ourselves, not only as pilots, but as human beings, to learn how we make decisions, and exercise judgment. So get ready, this is judgment day!

NEW DATE: 2/22/10!

Dear Justice Customers,

I would like to explain the recent price increase and rebates. Effective immediately all prices for our aircraft, except the simulator, will increase by $5.00. It's been about a year and a half since our last increase and we hope this isn't too much of an inconvenience.

We know it is convenient for some of you to use a credit card at the end of a flight and we plan on continuing to accept them.

But here is the problem, the credit card companies charge us a percentage to accept them. This charge is about 2% for the entire amount you are paying. Let's say you rented a new C172 for 165.00 per hour and you rented one hour the credit card charge would be $3.30. I know that doesn't sound like much. But most of our aircraft are managed and not owned and our part of that $170.00 is just $25.00.

Out of our $25.00 the $3.30 credit card charge is a little more than 13%. Because of this we have been seeing our payments to the credit card companies totaling around $2,500.00 per month.

It is against the law for us to have a credit card price and a different cash price. So a rebate system for those that help us avoid this added cost of doing business seems to be the best plan.

This new charging system will begin 11-02-09 and a 5.00 rebate per hour on the aircraft will be given to all check or cash customers who request it.

We thank you for your understanding,

Joe Justice

The rules have changed when it comes to renting aircraft in the U.S. for foreign pilots. You now have to get a special clearance from the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) before the FAA can issue a VFR license based on your foreign one. Check out the FAAs' website for more details at: http://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/airmen_certification/foreign_license_verification/

If you plan in visiting us here in Santa Monica this summer, you have to plan ahead! For all those pilots who already have the FAA license.....you're ok, once you arrive here all you need is a BFR to get current with us!

See you soon!
