5 Helpful Uses for Renting a Hangar

October 30, 2020

If you include students, there are over 650,000 pilots in the United States. Several thousand of these pilots own their private planes. But where do they keep it?

If you are a pilot looking to buy a plane, consider renting a hangar.

There are five helpful uses for renting a hangar. Keep reading to find out how you can benefit from this storage.

1. Storage

Most people don’t have enough space in their personal garage to park their car and storage tubs. Imagine trying to fit a plane.

Even ultralight aircraft takes up a lot of garage space.

Don’t use up the remaining storage in your garage or shed. Remember, it won’t just be the plane – you’ll have spare parts, tools, and need a workplace.

You could probably store other non-aviation accessories at the hangar but always check with the policies of the owners.

2. Work Area

Having a private and quiet place to assemble or fix an airplane is a necessity. Hangars are specifically designed to handle the height and wingspan of aircraft.

Electrical outlets are plenty for someone who needs to use power tools. Depending on the site, you should have adequate lighting to work day and night.

Using your utilities at home to run power tools or bright lights can become expensive. But your rental fee at a hangar covers those expenses.

3. Security

Purchasing a plane is a sizeable investment. No one buys a plane in hopes of getting rich off a sale. The maintenance and upkeep of your plane alone are enough to rethink buying your own.

However, the sentimental value and rarity in owning a plane mean people want to protect their investment.

A reputable hangar will have multiple security measures. Security fences, cameras, locks, and sometimes guards. This protection you’d never be able to afford on your own.

Take comfort knowing your aircraft is protected. You can also work on your plane knowing an unauthorized person won’t be roaming the grounds.

4. Access

If you’re worried about having access to a hangar, don’t worry. Most hangars are open at all hours. If you rent, you’ll have an access code or card to get in whenever you want.

Do you have the urge to work on your plane at night? You can’t do this with neighbors who are trying to sleep.

Slip away to the hangar and work as late and as loud as you desire.

5. Socialize

No matter the size of the hangar or the time of year, you’re bound to run into other pilots and aviation enthusiasts. This is an excellent opportunity to network and learn more about flying.

The pilot community is tight-knit. Fellow flyers will share tools, rides, and stories if you ask. Don’t be shy about asking for help and you may form a friend for life.

It might seem like renting a hangar is just a sunk cost. But as you can see, the benefits outweigh a rental fee.
