Yes. There’s no way around the simple fact that flight training is expensive. The cost of aircraft, parts, fuel, insurance, maintenance, hangars, operations and flight instruction all contribute to high rental prices.

We do our best to keep prices low—our Operations team works from home and instructors often teach ground virtually, as well. This saves you money on drive time to and from the airport when you won’t be flying and on the overhead other schools charge to maintain classrooms and other office space.

You can become a Private Pilot in as little as a month with the right preparation and planning, but a more realistic expectation is two to four months. To become a flight instructor, you can expect a minimum of six to eight months. Airline-job readiness typically takes at least 14 to 18 months.

Maintenance and weather weigh heavily on the ability to train quickly, but our schedules are built and managed to allow you to progress as quickly as feasible. We assign schedules and keep a close watch on student progress to ensure the system moves smoothly forward.

We highly recommend students take time off work and other responsibilities to dedicate themselves to flight training, but we do not require it.

One major way to accelerate your training is to eat, breathe and sleep aviation. The more time and attention you spend on other things, the less quickly you’ll progress.

Taking time off between ratings is easier at more advanced levels or after stage checks, so we encourage students to plan and budget both time and money for at least an entire certificate or rating at once.

With flight training in such high demand, we’re committed to ensuring our students make the most of the experience we provide. In order to help you be successful, we’d like to ensure you’re well-prepared for the intensity and the commitment of our flight training programs.

Yes! You can fly-as-you-go through whatever training you like. Our prices are designed to help facilitate accelerated training, but you can benefit by scheduling whenever there’s available space!

For those tired of flying laps around the same nearby airports, we offer specialized cross-country training. Hire your instructor by the day, get a bulk discount on flight hours and take an airplane to Cancún, Alaska, Maine or the Bahamas while learning to fly by instruments, learning to handle advanced routing, terrain or other conditions.

Diverse experience makes better pilots and what better way to become a great pilot than fly somewhere new—with an instructor to help you out, of course!
