Overview
Sporty's Academy publishes aircraft for rental checkout at Clermont County Airport (I69), near Cincinnati, Ohio. The operator's aircraft page lists Cessna 172 variants, a Cessna 182T, and a Piper Aztec E. It says checkout requirements vary with a renter's certificate and experience. The directory record reports the aircraft types and prices found on that page; it does not confirm that a particular aircraft is open for booking.
The operator describes the Cessna 172SP as having Garmin G1000 avionics and the 182T as having a G1000 glass cockpit. Its separate 172 Lite entry describes a two-seat Cessna 172M/N with basic instruments. Confirm the aircraft model and equipment assigned to a booking rather than relying on a general fleet label.
Aircraft and published prices
The source page lists the Cessna 172SP at $185 per hour, a Cessna 172 Skyhawk at $185 per hour, the Cessna 172 Lite at $165 per hour, the Cessna 182T at $245 per hour, and the Piper Aztec E at $375 per hour. The source does not state whether these hourly prices are wet or dry. These prices were checked on October 4, 2026 and should be reconfirmed before use.
The same page advertises a 10 percent Sunday discount for airplane rentals except the 172 Lite. Confirm that the offer remains active, which aircraft qualify, and any conditions before relying on it. The listed amounts are not a quote and may not include instructor time, checkout costs, taxes, or other fees.
Rental checkout and documents
Sporty's states that specific checkout requirements vary with certification and experience. Its aircraft page also links a Blanket Aircraft Rental Agreement and says renters must keep pilot in command documents on file. Ask the operator what documents it needs, what a checkout includes, and whether the checkout is required for each model or avionics configuration.
Confirm whether the aircraft can be rented for the type of flight you plan, what renter insurance is required, whether dual instruction is needed, and how far in advance reservations are made. The directory does not infer renter eligibility from the fact that an aircraft appears on a training fleet page.
Rate and availability questions
Before comparing prices, ask for the current rate sheet and whether the rate is wet or dry. Confirm the billing basis, fuel terms, instructor charges, checkout fees, minimum rental period, cancellation rules, and any charges for returning late. Ask which aircraft are actually available to renters, because training schedules and maintenance can affect availability.
If the operator quotes a different rate from the one shown here, use the operator's current written quote. Record the aircraft model, tail number, rate basis, and date together. A price for one aircraft should not be applied to another type or configuration.
