** Hidden Costs – We publish our costs, number of days in the course and airplane hours allotted so nothing is hidden. If your shopping other flight schools make sure you are looking at apples to apples. Most will list their price as 12 hours Instruction and 12 hours aircraft rental. If we did the same our price would be $2490.00 for a Multi Engine pilot rating. We want all our students to become great pilots and we know that it will take more than the basic bare bones.
