Some payment plans allow deferred payments. This way you can get through all or most of the training program before beginning payments.

You don’t need a four-year aviation degree to become an airline pilot. In many cases, a non-aviation degree is the smarter long-term choice.

As a Part 61 school, our training costs are typically lower than college-based Part 141 programs. That often makes financing more attainable and keeps the focus on consistent, high-quality training — not semesters.

If you finance, you’re not waiting behind the crowd. Finance students get first choice on the schedule and are placed into our accelerated program. The goal is simple: keep you flying regularly, keep you progressing, and help you finish efficiently.

Once financed, a training balance is added to your account with a built-in cushion to cover extra training if needed. If you train efficiently — such as splitting time during time building or using lower-cost aircraft — you can reduce overall costs.
