1. Time. At the very minimum, you should try to fly at least once a week. But, the more lessons per week you are able to do, the more information you will retain. AVOID large gaps in training because it will lead to a longer training time and more expense.
2. Expectations. You need to be REALISTIC about your goals. Have a plan and know what to expect. Ask questions and research before you make your decisions.
3. Money. 70% of students drop out of flight training nation wide. But, only 8% of students with financing drop out of training.

1. Affordable payment plans! $2000 per month WITHOUT financing vs. $195 per month WITH financing.
2. Predictable monthly payments! You know exactly how much flying will cost each month.
3. Fly consistently and on schedule! You never have to cancel a lesson because of the cost; this will reduce the overall cost and time of your training.
