What Heritage Flight Academy's program costs

Common questions about Heritage Flight Academy

How much does Heritage Flight Academy cost?

Heritage Flight Academy does not publish a single fixed figure for its Professional Pilot program (from zero time), so we do not list one rather than guess. You will need to request pricing from the academy directly. When you do, ask what the number excludes and how hours beyond the program's plan are billed, which is where academy costs usually move.

What is included in Heritage Flight Academy's program price?

Heritage Flight Academy's published programs cover Private Pilot, Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot, Multi-Engine (AMEL) and Flight Instructor. On what it excludes, the academy states: No published price. Private through Commercial with multi-engine and CFI, with an Envoy Air cadet pathway for graduates.

What happens if you need more hours than Heritage Flight Academy's program includes?

The academy does not publish how hours beyond the estimate are billed. Confirm before enrolling. Heritage publishes no program price (financing pages only), so request the full quote and the overage policy in writing before enrolling. 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 Heritage Flight Academy 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.
