Legal

Terms of Service

Effective upon publication

These Terms govern your use of americanaviationvny.com and services offered by David T, operating as American Aviation. By using the site or arranging instruction, you agree to these Terms.

Independent instruction and third-party services

American Aviation provides independent flight instruction. Aircraft and office space are provided separately by American Aviation Sales & Services Inc. (“A.A.S.S.”) in Van Nuys. Aircraft availability, rental approval, operating rules, maintenance, scheduling, TSA identity verification, and records handled by A.A.S.S. may be subject to separate agreements and requirements.

Aviation requirements and safety

All flights are subject to instructor judgment, aircraft availability, weather, maintenance, weight and balance, air traffic control, airport restrictions, and applicable FAA, TSA, and other legal requirements. No route, completion date, checkride date, certificate, rating, or outcome is guaranteed. The pilot in command and instructor retain authority to delay, modify, or cancel a flight for safety or legal reasons.

Pricing and payment

Published rates and estimates may change and are not guarantees of total program cost. Actual cost depends on proficiency, training frequency, aircraft and instructor time, outside fees, and other circumstances. Payment may be accepted by card, Zelle, cash, or another agreed method. Aircraft rental or other third-party charges may be paid separately to the provider.

Cancellations and refunds

The first cancellation is free. The second cancellation and each cancellation after it is subject to a $50 charge. No refund is provided after a flight or instruction has been completed. A cancellation required by weather, maintenance, safety, or legal restrictions may be treated differently at our reasonable discretion.

User responsibilities

You agree to provide accurate information, follow instructor and provider safety directions, present required identification and certificates, disclose conditions relevant to safe flight, and refrain from unlawful, abusive, disruptive, or unauthorized use of the website or services. Minors must have parent or guardian consent whenever applicable law or a provider requires it.

Website content

Website content is general information and is not a substitute for FAA regulations, official publications, individualized instruction, medical advice, or legal advice. You may not misuse, copy, interfere with, or attempt unauthorized access to the site.

Disclaimers and limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site is provided “as is” without warranties of uninterrupted availability or error-free content. American Aviation is not responsible for acts, omissions, systems, aircraft, facilities, or records controlled by independent providers, including A.A.S.S. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.

Governing law and changes

These Terms are governed by the laws of California, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. We may revise these Terms by posting an updated version with a new effective date.
