Program Cost

ATP's fixed cost pricing includes flight training in excess of FAA Part 141 minimums to provide a realistic amount of training required by most pilots. While logged flight times may vary slightly due to flight checkride times and other considerations, we strive to keep you on track and on budget throughout your training. We want our students to focus on their training and their goals, not on unexpected costs or delays.
