Published program price
$70.8K
Zero to MEI accelerated program (about 75 training days)
Published as an average. Your real cost rises if you fly more than the average hours.
The grand total is built from phase estimates: aircraft 'based on an average of $140 per hour' and instruction at $750 per day, with two time-building phases priced at SHARED rates that double if you fly alone. The published running total also implies a Phase 1 cost slightly above that phase's own quoted range, so treat $70,770 as the academy's estimate and get your own quote in writing.
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 Fly Accelerated.

Compare the pathsCommon questions about Fly Accelerated
- How much does Fly Accelerated cost?
- Fly Accelerated publishes $70,770 for its Zero to MEI accelerated program (about 75 training days), as listed on the academy's own pricing page (September 1, 2026). That is the published sticker for the program, not a personalized quote, and it is what the academy asks before the fees the sticker excludes.
- What is included in Fly Accelerated's program price?
- Fly Accelerated's published programs cover Private Pilot, Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot, Flight Instructor, Instrument Instructor and Multi-Engine Instructor. The headline track plans for about 265 flight hours. The academy states about 3 months to finish. On what it excludes, the academy states: The published grand total INCLUDES its own estimates for written exams, examiner fees (six checkrides at about $800 each), a first-class medical and supplies, which almost no academy folds in; the flying portion alone totals $63,800. Two phases assume shared time-building at half cost ($5,250 and $1,400 shared; $10,500 and $2,800 alone).
- What happens if you need more hours than Fly Accelerated's program includes?
- Published as an average. Your real cost rises if you fly more than the average hours. The grand total is built from phase estimates: aircraft 'based on an average of $140 per hour' and instruction at $750 per day, with two time-building phases priced at SHARED rates that double if you fly alone. The published running total also implies a Phase 1 cost slightly above that phase's own quoted range, so treat $70,770 as the academy's estimate and get your own quote in writing. This is the question worth asking hardest at any accelerated academy, because the published price and the price a student who flies over the plan actually pays are two different numbers.
- Does going to Fly Accelerated lower the 1,500-hour airline requirement?
- No. An accelerated academy does not reduce the 1,500-hour ATP minimum. Only a qualifying aviation degree does, under 14 CFR 61.160, which lowers it to 1,000 hours for a bachelor's or 1,250 for an associate's. What an academy sells is speed and a fixed price to the commercial certificate and instructor ratings, not a shortcut to the airlines. Most graduates then instruct to build the remaining hours.
- Where does Fly Accelerated train in Nevada?
- Fly Accelerated lists one campus in Nevada: North Las Vegas (VGT). The published program price is national and does not change by campus, though living costs do.

Figures are Fly Accelerated'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.
