Our aim is to provide a professional and efficient service for what it costs. Competitiveness within the industry ensures that prices are fair, though we are more interested in a reputation for being the best - than for being the cheapest. Commercial pilots will soon find that first job offers depend much more on your flying attitude and who you trained with, than whether you saved a few percent on your training costs. For PPL students we offer discounted starter packs of 10 hours flying, a training manual and a logbook for $4750, saving you over $400. These prices are current at November 2009.

Allowing for minimum required flying hours, landing fees, theory courses and examination fees, November 2009 costs are approximately: PPL $25000. CPL $79500. Turbine rating $7000. Instructor rating $15000 once you have 150 hours PIC time. Note that costs are subject to change. Come in and meet the team. We'll show you why you should train with us.
