Financial Aid

You may be surprised that getting a private pilot's license is not as expensive as you might think. With our flight training packages, we make flying affordable. Here are the options:

Pay as you fly

Flight students pay for the aircraft rental and the flight instructor's time after each flight lesson. We accept credit cards, cash, or check. With this option, you can pay full rate as a non-club member or join our Indy Aero Flyer's Club. The club requires a one-time initiation fee of $399 and a $39 per month to receive up to $20/hour off of the aircraft rental, $5/hour off of the flight instruction fees, and a 10% discount on pilot supplies (excluding charts).
