“Just a quick note to tell you how much I am enjoying the Cirrus and the professional atmosphere that I have experienced with all of my OurPLANE contacts. It’s been about 10 weeks, I have logged about 20 hours, and I have loved every minute of it. You have assembled a first class team and I am sure that there is nothing ahead for the OurPLANE organization but blue skies.”
Mr. Bachman, N670P, Cirrus SR22 G2, San Diego, CA

“I think the entire OurPLANE program is awesome!! It is one of the most organized, and customer friendly groups I've ever been involved in. I haven't had a single request go unanswered, or had a call not returned promptly. The entire staff is amazing. Furthermore, and more importantly, the planes have always been in perfect shape, from maintenance to cleanliness, and the schedule works amazingly well.

I would love to see more planes added to the fleet, and have recommended that my friends in aviation who are considering buying join OurPLANE instead. Having been an owner in singles and twins in the past, I feel that I have a much better deal now. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance in your program and thanks for all your help.”
Dr. Yarish, N1020P, Cirrus SR22 G2, Houston, TX

Scheduling, Maintentance, Availability are all great!
Mr. D. Misunas, N760P, San Carlos, CA

Good business model; responsive staff; flexible policies; honest and respectful communications with owners; good service to pilots
Mr. D Hettig, San Carlos, CA

“I just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed the “OurPLANE experience”. As you may remember I was very reluctant to join back in December 2003, and then the Cessna 182T arrived in January 2004 and you met me at the airport so that I could take the plane for a short flight.

The first month or six weeks I was very nervous about the experience because the airplane was always booked, as all the new owners where trying to get checked out in our new plane. Then as you told me would happen after everyone got checked out the plane was pretty much available when I wanted to fly. During my first year I believe I only had one conflict in which I really wanted the airplane and it was not available.

Then OurPLANE added a second Cessna 182 to the fleet at SGR and then with two airplanes available I have never had a conflict. I tell all my friends you would be crazy to own your airplane outright unless you fly over 200 hours a year because it just doesn’t make sense. Now I just stepped up and bought into the new Cirrus SR-22 and as expected the plane is booked just about everyday as all the owners are trying to get checked out in the airplane but I know that as soon as everyone is checked out the plane will be available about 95% of the time I want it and if it is not available I can fly a 182.

OurPLANE only gets better as airplanes are added to the fleet. I highly recommend that any pilot who is seriously thinking of buying an airplane consider the OURPLANE experience. I am a stickler that everything works on an airplane. That is one of the reason I wanted to stop renting airplanes and own my own. It never failed anytime I rented an airplane something was broke. 1 VOR out the ADF not working, the autopilot not working etc. You know that experience. At OurPLANE everything works and if it doesn’t you go online and inform flight operations about the problem and they get it fixed. I have great peace of mind that when I go to get in my airplane that everything is going to be working. You simply cannot manage the peace of mind that this gives you.

You are more than welcome to have anyone who is considering buying an OurPLANE unit give me a call. I highly recommend OurPLANE.
Mr. G. Elkins, N1020P, Cirrus SR22 G2, Houston, TX

Thank you for calling and sharing with me your plans for SR22s in the Bay Area. I bought a share of N430P, the OurPLANE Cessna 182T in San Carlos, in January and have truly enjoyed the experience. I've found the plane well-maintained, readily available, and convenient. And, the OurPLANE staff has been great! Although I'm looking forward to the SR22 in Hayward, I'm glad that I'm flying 30P to San Diego, Santa Barbara, and points in between in the meantime.

Please feel free to use me as a reference if I can help convey to anyone how well the OurPLANE model and experience have worked for me.
Mr. Misunas, N430P, Cirrus SR20, San Carlos, CA

I think you do well at the whole operational side. Plane readyness, cleanlyness, automated access to scheduling and so on.

Mike,
I have just faxed the forms for completion of my Cirrus SR-22 checkout. I want to pass along some comments about the program.

As you probably know, I am a retired airline pilot as well as a retired USAF fighter pilot. Over the years, I have been in numerous training programs. For most of my Air Force career, I was an instructor pilot/flight examiner. Early on, I developed and wrote audio visual and television scripts for new Air Force instructor pilots. Later on, in Europe, I was in charge of evaluating and critiquing numerous unit training programs. After being hired by Delta Air Lines, I had to go through several checkouts and upgrades.

That being said, I feel that your program is one of the best I’ve seen. The syllabus is comprehensive. Your “New Owner CD” is straight forward and informative. The open book test really gets a person into the aircraft handbook and helps one to retain the information. The CD with the Garmin training program is also excellent. The flight instructors are first class and the required ten hours of dual flight time has made me feel comfortable and confident in the airplane.

The bottom line is that I am impressed with OurPlane and the OurPlane program. I would also like for you to pass along my thanks and compliments to your Salt Lake City instructors, Steve DeJohn and Susan Horstman.
Cheers,
Bill Wilkinson
Mr. B. Wilkinson, N680P, Cirrus SR22, Salt Lake City, UT

From: Joseph, Daryl J.
To: David Volat, OurPLANE It has been a real thrill to fly the SR-22 and I’m really glad I made the move up! Thanks for nudging me and being patient while I made my decision. My wife will be thrilled with the new interior and the faster speed.
Mr. D. Joseph, N760P, Cirrus SR22, San Carlos, CA

As soon as I earned my private pilot license in April 2004, I knew I didn’t want to spend any more time flying 30-year old aircraft and knew I did want to enjoy the benefits of state-of-the-art technology. I also knew that I didn’t want to live through the learning curve and go through the hassels of insurance, maintenance storage, etc. that come with owning an aircraft - Fractional ownership seemed like a great solution for me. In September of 2004, I signed up with OurPlane which has aircraft based in Sugarland, Tx (KSGR). My experiences have been nothing short of outstanding. I am flying a 2004, G1000-equipped Skylane and loving every minute of it.

While the aircraft and avionics are a joy to use, the people at OurPlane behind the scenes are superb. They work hard to make the aircraft available when you want to fly, even when there is a scheduling conflict. There is a voice at the other end of the phone when you call needing something. I have never been disappointed. It is the people and their attitude that make this a great program for me!
Mr. R. Doleschek, N630P, New York, NY

Eric, Thanks for staying on top of these items. This is one of the main reasons that I am with Our Plane. I do not have to worry about the repairs. It is great to treat a nice airplane with respect, and to have it available and working when you need it. Thanks, Jim
Mr. J. Gombold, N670P, San Diego, CA

Offering, an affordable opportunity to private pilots, who are not wealthy and only fly a few hours a year, to fly new, or relatively new, well equipped, upscale aircraft.
Mr. E. Weintraub, CGOPX, Toronto, Ontario

My experience with OurPLANE has been nothing but positive. The service and maintenance are excellent.
Mr. P. Rump, San Carlos, CA

Timely responses to inquiries, above average communication with owners, responsiveness to maintainence issues, reservation system and accessories is excellent.
Mr. R. Rod, N870P, San Diego, CA

Eric, I think that you will enjoy the change of weather. We have some cold weather moving through the area today, but we should be warming up to the mid 70's to 80's by the weekend. Hopefully you can catch a little of the nice weather. I am glad that Leading Edge was able to do the field service at KPIE. My offer does stand to assist whenever possible, so please don't hesitate to ask. If I have a commitment, I will let you know, but otherwise I would be happy to ferry her whenever possible. One benefit of Our Plane that I really didn't perceive until going through the first year, was how nice it is to have you guys on top of service related issues. When I was considering the purchase of an aircraft right before signing on, I assumed that a new plane would be pretty much trouble free. That was obviously naive on my part. I didn't realize how many things could go wrong, and even more so, how nice it would be to have an advocate who is working with the service technicians to make sure that everything is handled properly and on a timely basis. I am amazed at how effective you have been in this regard, especially considering the fact that you are in Canada and we are in Florida. You can quote me on that. Thanks again for all of your help. Our Plane is fortunate to have you on their team.

Mr. J. Kehoe, CGOPO, Toronto, Ontario

The service and readiness of the aircraft is great!
Mr. Gilles Rochefort, CGOPO, Toronto, Ontario

New aircraft at a fraction fo the costs and worry - that is the slogan of the company and why I bought. The people that run OP are the best and I feel they always have the best interest of the client at heart.
Mr. T. Reid, N670P, San Diego, CA

Mike & Eric (Flight Operations) seem to know what they are doing. I was impressed with Mike's professionalism.
Mr. G. Boyle, N620P, New York NY

…professional approach, good communications with members and well maintained aircraft.
Mr. D. Steeves, CGOPZ, Toronto, Ontario

I think you are doing an excellent job of managing the general care of the aircraft. Your reservation system and billing are pretty automated from the user standpoint, which makes OURplane pretty transparent to the user. I.e. I don't think about you very much... the plane is there, it is ready when i get there, and it flys just fine, and the bill is paid automatically.
Mr. C. Fraser, N720P, Orange County, CA

OurPLANE Ops have been great when issues have developed with the airplane. Very professional and reactive.
