2016 Per Hour Pricing Our pricing is straightforward and clear.

Each price you see to the right listed is the fixed per hour cost for the individual services provided by Epic Flight Academy. When a student signs their Student Agreement they are locked into these prices with a guarantee that they will not increase for the duration of the student's contracted training. Even if the student continues training into the next calendar year or requires a short unforeseen absence their pricing stays the same. There are no landing fees at our airport and all the pricing you see includes fuel!

We have nothing to hide and want you to have the necessary information to properly budget and have as a comparison as you make your decision as to which flight school to attend. For the training resources we utilize, quality of education, and ideal location for flight training we are confident our pricing is not only competitive but clearly, for several reasons, Epic is the best choice. As we tell all of our future students, if you find something better please bring it to your Admissions Representative’s attention so that we can explain the differences or have the opportunity to try and match the price. What more could you ask for?

F.A.Q. 1

How long does the training typically take from start to finish?

You can complete in as little as 6-8 months (FAA commercial), 12-14 months (dual EASA/FAA commercial), and 3 months (CFI,CFII,MEI).

2

3

Depending on the course you choose, you will have either an FAA commercial multi engine license with instrument privileges, dual EASA/FAA commercial multi engine licenses with instrument privileges, FAA certified flight instructor (CFI,CFII,MEI), or any individual FAA license you choose to complete.

How do I calculate the total cost?

Allow our Admissions Team to assist you in this! We encourage students to use our Student Progression Chart for Budgeting as a guide for tuition, then add in your Housing and Non Tuition Fees for an accurate estimate. Students typically spend $300 per month in food and shopping for necessities....as long as they’re not eating out at a restaurant for each meal. If students want their own vehicle they can purchase a scooter for around $400 and even a car for as little as $1,000. It won’t be the nicest car but it will get them around town and to class.

What certifications/ licenses will I have when I complete?
