flight school installing an autofuel tank
: The local renter reimburses actual up to a maximum which is roughly
: the average local price and usually around a half buck more than the : field price for full serve. : I once asked why and they replied they were more concerned about : someone running out of gas a mile short of the runway and what that : would do to the bottom line than they were about the couple of bucks : now and then for a pricey fillup. That is a much more sensible strategy IMO. As a club, it'd be much better to tell the members, "We'll reimburse you the full cost, but if possible please plan to require a minimum of fuel elsewhere." Same as if you get stuck for weather. The local club here doesn't penalize a renter if the plane gets stuck due to bad weather. It's a good idea to encourage conservatism rather than having major financial incentive to "push" the weather to get the plane home. -Cory -- ************************************************** *********************** * Cory Papenfuss, Ph.D., PPSEL-IA * * Electrical Engineering * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * ************************************************** *********************** |

flight school installing an autofuel tank
"Jose" wrote in message m... Is that a common practice? where I fly remote fuel reimbursement is what you actually paid. You attach the fuel receipt to your statement and simply deduct it from your bottom line price. It's probably common club practice (it is in our club - we get reimbursed at the rate at our home base). FBOs tend to reimburse on actual costs. I guess it's simpler accounting and a different pilot set. Jose Reimbursing seems the logical way to do it. One would assume that wet rate is based on the home fuel cost not some random number. By this same logic though if home fuel cost is $4.00 and you are away and pay $3.80 you should still be reimbursed for $4.00. |

though if home fuel cost is $4.00 and you are away and pay $3.80 you should still be reimbursed for $4.00. This is correct. It's like an owner, who gets a bargain at $3.80 and a bummer at $4.50.
