Fixed cost

Guaranteed regardless of the hours you fly.

Angel City publishes fixed course prices, but its top career package (Ab Initio to Commercial, $75,000) stops at the Commercial certificate. It does not publish a flat zero-to-CFI price, so CFI and CFII costs are quoted separately. Confirm how any over-minimum hours are billed.

The academy's own published price. It does not reduce the 1,500-hour airline minimum (only a qualifying degree does). Prices change. Confirm current figures with Angel City Flyers.

Figures are Angel City Flyers's own published program prices, shown with the date we read them. They are not a personalized quote, and a student's actual cost will differ with location premiums, the fees the sticker excludes, and pace. Published prices generally assume the program's planned hours; flight training often runs over the FAA minimums, and how extra hours are billed varies by academy (some hold a truly fixed cost, others charge an hourly rate for additional time). Confirm the overage policy with the academy. An accelerated academy does not lower the 1,500-hour airline minimum; only a qualifying degree does, under 14 CFR 61.160.
