HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
The cost will depend on how frequently you fly, how much you study, and which aircraft you train in. Depending on these factors, the cost of a Private Pilot Certificate can range from $6000 to $12,000. It is not necessary to prepay the entire amount. Lessons and flights are billed after each flight, and payment is due when the lesson/flight is completed. We do give a 5% discount off airplane rental to those that want to prepay $1000.00. Pilot Finance, Inc. offers flight training financing with as little as $250.00 down and monthly payments starting at $73.00. We have applications available, or you can apply online at www.pilotfinance.com. Students that are enrolled in the Utah Valley University Global Aviation Degree Program may also qualify for Pell Grants, student loans, etc.
We are VA approved for the Instrument, Commercial, Certified Instructor, and Certified Instrument Instructor Courses. The VA will reimburse qualified students up to 60% of the tuition for any of those programs. Students need a second class medical before the first lesson. Applications can be made online at www.gibill.va.gov .

Part 61 Information:
The FAA requires a minimum of 40 hours in the aircraft, 20 of that with an instructor, in addition to the ground studies
for the Private Pilot Certificate (under Part 61). However, there are very few people that can master the art of flight in such a short time. Most people take longer, in fact the national average is somewhere closer to 70 hours. Our school's average is closer to 55 hours.
