Bulk XC Hours

Sale!
build flight hours and time build toward your ATP minimums with The Flight School at Colorado Springs

Original price was: $3,475.Current price is: $2,750.

For those seeking a huge discount on bulk flight time, this package offers a great opportunity to build hours for more than 20% off our normal hourly pricing. The package does, however, come with some restrictions.

This 50 hour split-time package requires sharing flight hours with another pilot. One pilot must be the pilot flying “under the hood” while the other pilot acts as required safety pilot crew. This permits both pilots to log PIC time. Hours are typically (but not always) flown at night and on an IFR flight plan and are only eligible for this price when flying cross-country. There are several reasons for these limitations, including flight safety, availability of the aircraft for full-paying customers and more. The resulting time-building, however, greatly benefits all involved.

Price reflects a pre-pay discount. Pre-paid packages are nonrefundable.

Description

Those who purchase this package—which offers our greatest savings—book standby flight time and may see their reservations change if a full-price customer or student in training must use the aircraft. Instances of cancellation or reschedule are rare, but because of the extremely-discounted nature of the flight time, we require bulk hour package fliers to yield to those paying full price. Typically, these packages are flown at night, with time-builders often flying 8-10 hours per night together.

Key elements of our time-building program:

  • We help arrange flying partners
  • Pre-pay for a massive discount
  • Secondary scheduling priority
  • Fly anytime the aircraft is available
  • We can provide housing

Please note that the restrictions on this rate apply to each flight unless otherwise authorized: the fundamental premise of this rate is that because experienced pilots are flying with a fairly constant engine RPM, not maneuvering nor straining the gear and airframe under repeated landings, they’re putting lower-cost “highway miles” on the plane and thus reducing our maintenance costs. If your use of our aircraft obviously does not fit in this restricted profile, we will bill you for a higher rate to account for the higher level of wear on the aircraft.

Pre-pay bulk hour deals are nonrefundable in all circumstances. You’re always allowed to use the hours at a double rate—ie flying by yourself or with passengers, but using up twice as many package hours as flying with a paying partner. Pre-paid package hours credit is simply credit on account which can be used toward training or other types of flying.
