Course Pricing:
Our packages are designed to include aircraft and instructor charges that are the typical time for most customers to reach proficiency and pass their tests using 14 CFR Part 61 Rules and training 3 times per week. The actual cost of additional training, if any is required, is customized to the individual. This minimizes total cost. The packages also include most of the additional supplies that will be required. This approach results in a course price that more fairly represents the total cost required to obtain the flight instructor certificate.
