FAA evaluates flight schools for quality, safety, and all aspects related to flight training. FAA issues guidelines and expects these schools to train to a very high standard. Schools are then allowed by the FAA to give students FAA flight exams in the school. The FAA evaluates and re-evaluates flight instructors, airplanes, training and maintenance programs to make sure these schools meet the highest quality standards.

We offer exceptional training packages at affordable prices. For example, our six month package for all flight training, accommodation and transportation costs comparatively less. For a small price differential you can upgrade to the eight month accomodation and transportation package if your training takes longer than expected. This can be done with no penalties at a late stage if required. You could also select our month-to-month option at that time if you feel that your timing will only overshoot by about a month. Both training and cost are important to all students, so we work hard to keep our prices low - and pass on that savings to you.

It is difficult to accurately predict the exact amount of time it will take to complete the entire training. It will vary from student to student. A significant percentage of students complete their training in six months. Many students have managed to finish training quicker than that. It requires approximately 125 flight days to complete 250 hours. It depends on your personal ability and focus. It is safe to assume 6 - 8 months timeframe.
