Why do the costs to obtain flight training vary so much from school to school?
In all actuality, flight training costs do not vary that much in the end. It’s just that some schools quote pricing that is based upon the minimum flight time and ground school hours mandated by the FAA. The important thing to understand is that they cannot guarantee you will be able to reach proficiency and pass a flight test in that time for that cost. The unfortunate surprise for some students is that, midstream, they need more training than was expected and are required to unexpectedly pay more to finish their studies. At Utah Helicopter Flight Academy, we pride ourselves on providing outstanding flight instruction for the very best price. We cannot guarantee that you will complete training in minimum times, but we can absolutely assure that you will reach your maximum potential as a highly skilled pilot. It’s a given that cost of flight training is one of our major concerns, but your safety and our quality of instruction is our primary focus.
