UNCONFIRMED: Hesston's dedicated per-course fee page was taken down. This is the sum of its most recently published lab fees (PPL through MEI + transition = $80,900); confirm directly with Hesston. Its associate program holds an approved 1,000-hr R-ATP exception.
See how this stacks up against Part 61, Part 141, an academy, and a 2-year degree.
Compare the pathsFigures are Hesston College's own published tuition, room & board, and flight fees, summed by PilotBound into a planning estimate. They are not the school's quoted program price, and they will differ from a student's actual cost. Flight fees are pay-as-you-go and vary with a student's pace. Confirm current numbers with the school. The 1,000-hour airline minimum comes from a qualifying degree under 14 CFR 61.160. PilotBound is not affiliated with Hesston College.
