“There are no signposts in the air to show a man has passed that way before. There are no channels marked. The flier breaks each second into new uncharted seas.”

Price estimates are based on the rates in effect in Summer 2023. All rates are subject to change.
Our price estimates are designed to include dual training, solo time and instructor charges that are within 5 hours of the national average. The actual cost of additional training, if any is required, is customized to the individual. The package also includes most of the additional supplies that will be required, such as charts and a headset. This approach results in a course price that more fairly represents the total cost required to obtain the Instrument Rating.
In order to provide the discounts we offer, we accept only cash or check payments on packages. Packages are subject to limitations on refunds.
