Fixed-Cost Pricing
Academy of Aviation provides up-front, fixed-cost pricing in a
way
that differentiates us from most other flight schools and
academies.
With over 20 years of experience, Academy of Aviation designs
flight
training programs with enough flight time for the vast majority
of
students to be successful.
Academy of Aviation's prices are based on realistic minimum
flight
time requirements. If you require extra training above and
beyond
what's included in your curriculum, we will first try to
reallocate
flight time from other parts of the syllabus, changing the type
of
aircraft you fly for certain portions of training, and
implementing
simulator time before offering you extra flight training at an
additional cost. The goal of Academy of Aviation is to ensure
that
you are prepared for a career as a pilot no matter what avenue
of
the aviation industry you choose.
Because everyone's piloting skills are different, we can't
guarantee
that you won't need additional training and incur some
additional
expenses. But Academy of Aviation has built a strong reputation
for
providing highly effective, safe and complete flight training
programs.
Price Guarantee
Academy of Aviation guarantees the fixed-cost quoted to you at
the
time of scheduling or at the time of making your first payment
to
reserve your class date. Even if our advertised prices increase
between the time you schedule and the time your training starts,
you
will receive the price originally quoted.
As a potential student and cosigner, there are three important
facts
you should know about Academy of Aviation’s payment
structure:
• Academy of Aviation receives payments incrementally throughout
the
program.
• Academy of Aviation quotes a fixed price.
•Refunds are issued in 15 days or less.
Multi-Disbursement Payment Structure
Academy of Aviation’s multi-disbursement payment structure
allows us
to determine a student’s ability to be successful in this career
early in the program, prior to spending the entire amount of
tuition. Unlike other flight schools, Academy of Aviation’s
program
is structured so that Academy of Aviation is motivated to
quickly
discontinue those who are unlikely to excel at Academy of
Aviation’s
pace. With a fixed-cost pricing structure, Academy of Aviation
does
not benefit from having to provide more and more training at an
hourly rate—a common tactic found elsewhere.
