Two Ways to Pay
Fixed Instruction
For those who want ultimate flexibility and the best training outcomes, we offer a fixed cost instruction model for sport private, instrument, and commercial training. This cost is based on the average cost people spend on flight instruction, but what it offers is incredible flexibility and guilt free learning.
If you are someone who learns best by asking questions, having personalized 1-on-1 guidance, and want to go above and beyond the FAA minimum without your wallet hurting in the process, this is the route for you.
These fixed prices will enable unlimited flight and ground instruction for the entire duration of your rating. If you use 200 hours of instruction it costs the same as if you had used 10 hours. This highly benefits the motivated learner. Of course, it is also the motivated learner who is the most likely to complete their training successfully in a reasonable cost and timeline, so this only serves to help keep costs predicable and manageable.
The fixed costs are broken into 2 or 3 payments, due at the beginning of each “phase” of training. These payments are non-refundable. See below for details.
These costs are based on a student starting from zero, and we will offer a customized quote for students with previous flying experience.
All fixed instruction packages cover our onboarding fee of $750, which includes:
The refundable minimum balance reserve ($250, refundable)
Electronic copies of all needed documents, including the course syllabus and aircraft operating manual
ForeFlight Pro (until your checkride is complete)
Lifetime access to FlightInsight ground school

Hourly Instruction
This is the more traditional way of paying for instruction, where you simply pay by the hour. This is great for those who do not need a lot of guidance and are looking for something more “ala-carte”. Most students starting from scratch benefit more from the fixed instruction model, but those with a lot of knowledge or only having a few requirements to finish up often opt for just paying as they go. Of course, we can create a custom 'fixed’ instruction quote for students who prefer that instead.
