Aviation Technology-Professional Pilot Degree (AAS)

Upon registration for the above courses, a deposit must be made into your flight account for the amount shown above.

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 flight hours could be as much as 20% higher than the minimums listed above. For students using VA benefits, the VA will only pay for the minimum requirements as outlined by the FAA in the Training Course Outline. This includes only required pre- and post-flight briefings. The amounts of pre and post flight briefing time requirements vary per student and are determined by our flight instructors. The VA requires students receiving benefits to use the least expensive equipment available.

1. Flight Instructor - $60.00 per hour
2. Cost per hour of each aircraft (aircraft + insurance + average fuel cost x consumption per hr.)
   1. Cessna 172
      - $117.00 + $2.50 + $16.00 ($2.00 per gal x 8gph) = $135.50 Total
   2. Piper PA28R
      - $160.00 + $2.50 + $16.00 ($2.00 per gal x 8gph) = $178.50 Total
   3. Piper PA34
      - $240 + $2.50 + $48.00 ($2.00 per gal x 24gph) = $290.50 Total

Each aircraft has a contract price which also includes a wet price per hour for fuel. The contract included fuel estimate per gallon cost is $4.50 (wet) we add a $2.00 per gallon fuel fluctuation charge at the fuel burn rate of the aircraft.
