New office hours for Coyote!

FAA testing knowledge test price increase
All FAA exams now include a $50 ODA compliance fee. You will need to pay $150 for each FAA Knowledge Exam and $160 for each examiner exam. We realize this is a difficult change and understand the frustration. Please note that Coyote is not allowed to set the price for FAA exams. We will keep you informed of more changes as they become available.
FAA Knowledge Exams at Coyote are now by APPOINTMENT ONLY.
We will maintain flexibility to work around your schedule as much as possible. Including Saturday and evening testing hours.
