Flight fees are subject to change at any given time during the semester.
Fees are paid to the examiner and are subject to vary and change without notice.
Upon registration for the above courses, a deposit must be made into your flight account for the
amount shown above.
Flight Deposits should be made in a timely manner. If you need Financial Aid such as student
loans, etc., please apply for it early to reduce the time prior to you receiving your funds. You will not
be able to begin your flight training until the flight deposit is made and if it is not made within the first
month of the semester, it puts you behind in your training which therefore prolongs your time in
completing the program.
There is a per semester student insurance fee for flight students, refer to the Bursar’s Office:
Mandatory & Elective Fees for semester rates. There is a per-flight course flight lab fee of $50.00.
These fees are in addition to tuition and fees that are applicable to all students.
NOTE: Training times listed above are absolute minimums only, but provide the most definitive cost
information available at this time. Experience of our flight instructors suggests that the actual student
average could be as much as 20% higher than the minimums listed above.
**VA students may only be certified for and reimbursed for the required hours shown above. There
are no exceptions to this rule.
