How to Save Money on Your Flight Training
Accelerated Flight Training is Truly the Most Cost-and-Time
Efficient Way to Earn a Pilot Certificate or Rating

Looking for a cheap way to get your pilot license?
Don't look for cheap. Look for VALUE.
Consider this: We have people who come to SunState
Aviation from all over the world to train because they have found that the money
they save doing one of our accelerated flight training courses, more than
offsets the expense of
staying in a hotel for two or three weeks.
As an example; the national average for completing
Private Pilot training course is about 70 hours of flight instruction (granted,
some finish in less time, but some take longer).
There are many reasons for this, but the main reason
this high number of hours to completion but the main reason the number is so
high is because the lessons are spaced too far apart to be effective. The
student spends much of his time and money re-learning what he learned on his
last lesson.
Our average completion time for a Private Pilot
course is 47 hours of flight instruction in 21 days for someone starting from
zero-time. At an average of $200 per hour (airplane, fuel and CFI) for flight
instruction, this is a savings of $4,600. Cost of hotel stay for 21 nights is
$819, add another $400 for food and personal spending, so the net savings for
the student is $3,381
AND you would be receiving the best QUALITY flight
training from seasoned professionals in
newer, technically advanced airplanes.
You just can't beat that!
If the student is training for multiple ratings, the
savings is compounded even further!
Your New Year's resolution? Yes, pursue that dream.
Become a pilot or add that
instrument rating, or
multi engine rating.
And do it the smart way, with a SunState Aviation
Accelerated Flight Training course!
