When you meet with our staff, we can provide you with a reasonable estimate of the expected total VA program cost for the course(s) you choose. Exact costs will depend on your progress, since students must train to FAA Practical Test Standards. Additional factors can include general aptitude, study habits, and personal motivation.
Payment for all charges incurred for aircraft rental and instruction are due upon completion of each training session. Payment can be made with a credit card, or debit card, as well as cash or check.
