Is Flight Training Safe?
When contemplating the journey of learning to fly, it's natural to have concerns about potential risks. However, you can find reassurance in the fact that flight training is a safety-centric activity, with a steadfast focus on safety throughout every aspect of the training process. The aviation industry upholds an unwavering commitment to safety, and this commitment seamlessly extends to flight training at SimpliFly.
The NTSB reported that the fatal accident rate for general aviation has been declining for over a decade, and in 2020, it reached its lowest level ever recorded.
SimpliFly takes safety seriously. We are a team of highly trained professionals. In addition, our aircraft are meticulously maintained and inspected regularly.
How Much is Flight Training Going to Cost?
The cost of flight training varies greatly depending on a number of factors such as type of training, the student's aptitude and experience level, and the type of aircraft used.
Although the actual cost of flight training can vary widely, plan to budget around $10,000 to $15,000 for private pilot fixed wing. To get more details on hourly rates, program pricing, and potential financing options; give us a call today and speak to a SimpliFly team member.
