What to ask when you call

907-474-0099

Not on their website

  1. What do you charge per hour for flight instruction, and is ground instruction billed at the same rate?

    Ground instruction is often billed at a different rate.

  2. What is the hourly rate on your cheapest trainer, and which airplane is that?

    It's the biggest line on your bill.

  3. Is that rate wet or dry, meaning does it include fuel?

    A dry rate can run $40 to $60 an hour lower for the same airplane.

  4. What does the aircraft cost per hour, and the instructor?

    No dollar figure appears anywhere on the website.

Also ask

  1. Do you offer block rates or prepay discounts, and what is the refund policy if I stop partway?

    Block discounts are rarely published, and the refund terms matter more than the discount.

  2. What do you charge for the written test, the checkride, and the examiner's fee?

    The examiner's fee alone runs $800 to $1,200 in most of the country.

  3. How many trainers and how many full-time instructors do you have right now?

    Availability sets your pace, and pace drives your total more than the hourly rate.

Plan the money before you commit.

A program price only makes sense next to what each rating costs on its own, what scholarships exist, and what borrowing actually looks like.

What each rating costs

Per-rating ranges, with the fees most quotes leave out.

Scholarships first

Verified flight training scholarships. Every scholarship dollar is a dollar you never finance.

If you borrow

Compare lenders and see the real monthly payment before you sign.
