Flight Department Information Manual

your flying needs and goals, plus any concerns you might have about the training for the Private Pilot Certificate. The Chief Pilot will then help choose the right CFI for you. 4. How experienced are Atlas Aviation CFIs? Our Certified Flight Instructors (CFIs) have a total of thousands of hours and decades of flight experience and will work with you on a one-on-one basis, both in the air and on the ground, to help you attain your goals. 5. Is there any financing available? In some cases, your own bank will work out an education loan for you, and we have also worked with www.PilotFinance.com and http://finance.aopa.org/Flex-Aviation-Loan. Flight Training Courses and Estimated Costs We understand how important it is to have realistic cost estimates to make fully informed decisions about flight training. On the following pages we provide the estimated costs for our Sport, Private, Instrument, and Commercial Pilot courses. The FAA Minimum costs are based on FAA specified minimums for flight and ground instruction, and solo requirements. In addition, we provide estimates that include other expected costs like medical exams, testing fees, and training supplies. Many flight schools do not include these types of costs in their training quotes, so be sure to ask when making comparisons. We include the cost for a basic headset in our Sport and Private Pilot cost estimates. While this is not a required purchase, we strongly encourage students to purchase a good aviation headset. We have David Clark headsets available to rent for $8 per lesson. As a David Clark dealer, and we can order any headset they offer and apply $25 of your headset rental fees paid toward the cost of any headset purchased through us. Sarasota Avionics, located next door to the main terminal at Peter O. Knight, offers Bose Aviation headsets for sale, too. In addition to showing the estimated costs based on the FAA minimums, we included estimates based on what we see our “typical” students doing. Your costs will vary depending on the airplane you use, how often you fly, your aptitude for flying, and your diligence in preparing for your lessons with home study. For inquiries towards obtaining a Flight Instructor Certificate, please e-mail the Chief Flight Instructor at David@AtlasAviation.com. For all our courses, we use Cessna’s Online Ground School. These courses were developed for Cessna Pilot Centers by King Schools, the leader in aviation training resources. The Online Ground School will cover everything you need to know for the FAA Airman Knowledge Test. The Online Ground School also integrates with the flight training course syllabus and is designed to be completed concurrently. The online training coupled with additional ground and flight instruction provided by your CFI will teach you everything you need to know to be a safe pilot. For your ground school course to link to our flight school, you must purchase it here rather than on- line. To find out more about the curriculum and ground school go to www.CessnaFlightTraining.com.
