Other Ways to Pay for Flight Training
Financing through one of our lending partners isn’t the only way to fund your training. Depending on your goals and financial situation, you may want to consider these additional options.
Aviation Scholarships
Numerous aviation organizations offer scholarships to help aspiring pilots pay for flight training. Unlike loans, scholarships don’t have to be repaid. Contact us for information about scholarship opportunities and resources to help you get started.
AOPA Financing
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) is another resource for exploring aviation financing options. Visit AOPA to learn more.
Personal Loans and Home Equity Lines of Credit
Your local bank or credit union may offer personal loans or home equity lines of credit that can be used to finance flight training. Compare interest rates, repayment terms and other conditions to determine what works for your situation.
Family Support
Sometimes financial help is closer than you think. Consider talking with family members about your aviation goals. They may be willing to help cover some or all of your training expenses.
Pay as You Go
Our flexible training schedules allow many students to continue working while they earn their certificates and ratings. Most students train for two to four hours per day, making it possible to balance flight training with a full-time or part-time job. Paying as you go may help you reduce or avoid taking on debt.
