Why Choose Independent Training Over the Big Schools?
This is the question that we are all faced with when choosing how to begin our aviation training journey. I am very fortunate that I chose to pursue independent training over an 'Airline Program' school. These are the reasons why:
​
- We can accomplish the same accelerated timeframe that they charge a premium for, at half the cost
- Roughly $50-60k versus $120k
- We can construct a flexible schedule that suits your lifestyle
- Zero upfront payments; no need to lock yourself into a financial loan with an aggressive interest rate
- One on one individualized training
Schedule and Costs
We train at your pace: if you're already working full-time, part-time, or unemployed, we can cater your training so that we meet for flights whenever you are available. This means that we can meet 5 days a week for an accelerated path, or just a couple of times a month if you're in no rush. Prospective professional pilots and interested hobbyists are welcome alike.
​
All services are provided at an hourly rate, on a pay-as-you-go system. Zero upfront payments. Instructor rate is $70/hourly, and plane rates are pictured below. If you own your own plane, I'd be happy to instruct in it as well.
