Join us this October for the next Atlas Aviation Fly-Out Adventure. This trip will focus on visiting historic sites in the southern US: New Orleans, LA (After flying along the Mississippi River delta), Memphis, TN, and an event in the music city – Nashville!
The group will depart early in the morning on October 4th and return midday on October 7th. We have engaged a travel agent to assist in arranging lodging and tours for our group. Cost estimates for lodging and tours are based on her preliminary figures and are subject to change.
For planning purposes:
| Participation Registration | $250 |
| Aircraft Deposit (For Atlas-Owned Aircraft) | $500 |
| Tours (Per Person) | $300 |
| Food & Beverage (Per Person) | $500 – $700 |
| Lodging (Based on Double Occupancy) | $650 – $1,500 |
These costs may change based on room availability but should be reasonably close.
Estimated flight time and rental costs by type based on the proposed route follow:
| Aircraft Type | Estimated Flight Hours | Estimated Flight Costs |
| Cessna 172 Steam Gauge | 15 | $3,175 – $3,300 |
| Cessna 172 G1000 | 15 | $3,375 – $3,525 |
| Cesna 172 G1000 NXi | 15 | $3,825 |
| Cessna 182 G1000 | 12 | $3,834 |
| Cirrus SR20 G6 | 11 | $3,960 |
| Cirrus SR20 G7 | 11 | $4,389 |
| Cirrus SR22 | 9 | $3,960 |
Note that weather, especially winds, can affect the actual flight time significantly.
Student pilots or pilots who would like to have an instructor ride along will be charged for the instructor’s time based on flight time and any one-on-one ground training the instructor provides during the trip, and would also be responsible for the instructor’s meals and lodging.
We have set aside 7 C172s, a C182, 2 SR20s, and an SR22 on the schedule. Owners are welcome to join us in their own airplanes on a space-available basis (i.e. not all the Atlas airplanes get reserved).
If you are interested in participating in this trip, complete the registration request form found here and email it to Olga@AtlasAviation.com. The date/time stamp determines your position in line. Atlas airplanes not reserved by September 23, 2024, will be opened back up on the schedule and those slots given to owners who have submitted a reservation request.
