What documents do I need to provide to rent out my aircraft?

Three documents, uploaded directly when you declare the aircraft: the certificate of airworthiness (or the microlight identification card), the latest airworthiness review, and the insurance certificate. It is on this certificate that Volara checks both the cover for renting to third parties and the openness of your pilot clause: these are not separate documents, but two items read from the same one.

The details

For an aircraft holding a certificate of airworthiness (CofA), you need the certificate of airworthiness and a valid airworthiness review certificate (ARC). For a microlight, the identification card is enough: it has neither a CofA nor a review to provide. In every case, the insurance certificate is essential.

Your insurance must cover rental

The policy must cover renting to third parties, not just you. It must also carry an open-pilot clause: a named-pilot clause does not cover a renter, who by definition is not named in the contract. Without this, the application cannot be approved.

Where to upload them

You upload them during the declaration, along with your photos. Volara bases its review on these documents and these alone: the more complete and legible they are, the faster the check.
