    2016 Pilot Agreement (To be Submitted by Pilots Only)

    Airworthiness:
    Parkwest Air Tour packages tours for pilots flying their own (provided by the pilot) aircraft.  It is the responsibility of the Client/Pilot, acting in his or her capacity as Pilot-In-Command (PIC), to determine the airworthiness of the aircraft being flown.

    Navigation:
    For the purpose of navigational assistance on its tours, Parkwest Air Tours requires that each Client/Pilot have a pre-programmed GPS receiver in their aircraft for use on the tour.  Each Client/Pilot will be supplied with a pre-planned route of flight, suggested altitudes, and a GPS coordinates for programming the Client/Pilot's GPS unit.  The Client/Pilot, as Pilot In Command, agrees that these tools are for his/her navigational assistance only, and at no time should be considered reliable or obligatory in any way.  Each Client/Pilot must verify any information provided by Parkwest in terms of aircraft navigation, airspace rules, aircraft performance, and airport information.

    Mechanical Difficulties:
    Parkwest Air Tours can make no refunds due to delays or problems resulting from mechanical or other problems with Client/Pilot aircraft.   It is the responsibility of the Client/Pilot to determine any problems or potential problems with his/her aircraft, and to determine the appropriate measures required to resolve them.  Also, each Client/Pilot should familiarize himself with the airports and maintenance facilities along the tour route in the event aircraft maintenance is required during the tour.  It will be the responsibility of the Client/Pilot to rejoin the group when possible.  Any extraneous expenses related to a maintenance delay (food, hotel, etc.) will be the responsibility of the Client/Pilot.  Because all of Parkwest Air Tours' services are prepaid, no refunds for unused hotel rooms, meals, or activities can be made.

    Rules and Regulations:
    The Client/Pilot accepts the following rules and regulations that are made to safeguard him or her, passengers, and the aircraft.  Client/Pilot agrees:
