The cost of flying will vary with each individual. What plays a factor in your costs are the hours you need to become proficient in flying, the type of aircraft you are flying, type of certification/rating you are working towards, and instructor fees.
When you are learning to fly, there are no fixed costs. You and your instructor control the cost together.For the private pilot training we suggest a minimum of $7,000 for aircraft and instructor. We don't charge you for time you don't use. We do offer a "Pay-As-You-Go" program. Coyote Flight Centers is dedicated to helping you keep your cost to a minimum. See below for ways we can work together.
Introductory flights are available for only $59.
The introductory flight covers what an actual lesson would cover. These flights are for those who have never flown before. It is a great way to determine if flying is right for you. We strongly suggest the introduction before you invest in any flying program. ……and you get to fly the plane.
New Services include E-mail Billing, Automatic Credit Card Payments, Personalized Chart/Sectional Subscriptions.
