Overview
Aces Flight School publishes aircraft rentals at its Rock Hill location in South Carolina. The operator identifies Rock Hill/York County Airport Bryant Field (KUZA) as its primary location. Its rental page lists Cessna 172K N78144 as a four-seat aircraft and describes the model as a 1969 Cessna 172 K model.
The same page includes aircraft associated with other locations, including Pelion, South Carolina and Monroe, North Carolina. This directory entry covers the Rock Hill Cessna only. Aircraft shown for another location should not be assumed to be based at KUZA or available from the Rock Hill office.
Aircraft and published rate
The operator's page lists N78144 at $175 per hour and says fuel is included. The rate and aircraft listing were checked on October 4, 2026. Confirm the current price, fuel terms, and aircraft assignment with Aces before making a budget or reservation.
The page describes the 172K as a four-seat aircraft with a Lycoming O-320 engine, IFR equipment, ADS-B out, and dual G5 displays. These are claims in the operator's listing and are not an independent inspection or equipment verification. Confirm the exact panel and aircraft documents for the assigned tail number.
The operator page lists other Cessna and Piper rentals at other bases and rates, but it does not identify all of those aircraft as Rock Hill rentals. No additional aircraft or rates are attributed to the Rock Hill entry here. Request a base-specific list if you are considering a different model.
Checkout and rental access
The rental page does not publish a full checkout checklist, insurance requirement, or renter eligibility policy. Ask whether Aces accepts renters who are not enrolled in flight training, what pilot certificate and recent experience it requires, and whether checkout is needed for the C172K or for each aircraft type.
Confirm how checkout time is billed, whether instruction is mandatory for an initial booking, and what records the operator expects before dispatch. Ask who handles scheduling at the Rock Hill location and what happens if maintenance, weather, or training schedules affect the aircraft reservation.
What to confirm before budgeting
Request a current rate in writing and confirm that $175 per hour still applies to N78144. Check whether the rate is based on Hobbs or tach time, whether fuel is included under the current agreement, and whether checkout, instruction, tax, or cancellation fees are separate.
If the aircraft is unavailable, ask which replacements can be dispatched from Rock Hill and whether their rates and checkout requirements differ. The operator lists locations in several states, so verify that all rental terms and aircraft details refer to the Rock Hill base.
