FLY MORE, SAVE MORE: PROPOSED MONTHLY DISCOUNTS

Students who fly consistently may qualify for a lower instruction rate based on eligible flight-instruction hours completed each calendar month. The more you train, the more you can save.

5–9.9 HOURS / MONTH

5% off

Eligible flight-instruction hourly rates.

10–14.9 HOURS / MONTH

10% off

Eligible flight-instruction hourly rates.

15+ HOURS / MONTH

15% off

Eligible flight-instruction hourly rates.

Example: At 10 eligible hours in a month, a proposed $60/hr private-pilot instruction rate would be $54/hr after the 10% discount.

Proposed program only. Discount thresholds, eligibility, and rates must be approved before publication. Discounts apply only to eligible flight-instruction hours actually flown during the same calendar month, not aircraft expenses, ground instruction, travel, flight reviews, IPCs, or safety-pilot services. Hours do not roll over. Final monthly discount is calculated on eligible instruction charges for that month; no discounts may be combined. Weather and scheduling may affect hours completed.

Rates are for instructor services only. Aircraft rental, fuel, airport fees, examiner fees, and other third-party expenses are not included. Flight and ground time, minimums (if any), cancellation terms, and travel expenses will be confirmed before booking.
