What Phoenix East Aviation's program costs

A full-time, integrated career program sold at a fixed price, not an hourly rate. Every figure below is Phoenix East Aviation's own published price, with the source and the date we read it. This is the published sticker, not a personalized quote.

Published program price

$89K

Professional Program III (Instrument through MEI)

Other tracks from $72.9K.

Average cost

Published as an average. Your real cost rises if you fly more than the average hours.

PEA's program page states "Price is based on averages." It does not publish a separate overage rate, so a student who flies above the average should expect to pay more. Confirm with the school.

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 Phoenix East Aviation.

Figures are Phoenix East Aviation'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.
