Program Pricing
Two ways to price every program: a self-funded Debt-Buster E-Program lump sum (financing not permitted), or the full-time Part 141 Rate Sheet F used by financed, VA, and international students. Or simply pay as you go by the hour.

E-Program prices are Debt-Buster lump sums for self-funded students and cannot be combined with other discounts; students who exceed the syllabus hours pay by the hour for additional time. Part 141 figures are from Rate Sheet F (full-time Airline Pilot Program). Non-tuition costs — TSA registration, FAA medical, course materials, FAA written exams, and checkride examiner fees — run roughly $2,865–$3,000 per full program. See Rates & Exhibits for installment plans and the full rate sheets, and Financing for lenders.
