SunWest Operations During COVID-19

As you are likely aware, San Luis Obispo County and the State of California have each established a “Shelter-At-Home” order with the intent of slowing the spread of COVID-19. We have reached out to sources of authority for clarification on whether our services are considered essential but have yet to receive a response. Ultimately, without confirmation from the county, we feel that the responsible choice is to temporarily halt operations at our San Luis Obispo location effective immediately until we know more or the “Shelter-At-Home” order is lifted.
 
Rest assured, we are continually assessing the situation and searching for other options. We realize the impact of halting training and aircraft rentals will be difficult and we will do everything in our power to minimize that impact while following CDC guidelines to prevent the spread of infection. We are serious about protecting our renters, students, and employees from illness.
 
If you have any questions, or would like to conduct remote ground instruction from your home, please do not hesitate to reach out to your instructor or one of the office staff. Alan, Janet and I will continue to work from home. We will regularly check our email and phone messages and respond to you as soon as possible. You can find ways to contact us below. We wish safety and health to you all and look forward to resuming operations as soon as possible.
