*Epic Commercial Single: Estimated based on hourly rates and commercial time building requirements included in their program. Visit Epic's website for a detailed breakdown of what's included in their program.
** Part 61 Reality: Without structured syllabi and defined completion standards, Part 61 training often runs over budget. Extra flight hours at $140-220/hr and unplanned ground instruction can add $5,000-$15,000+ to your costs. What starts as "cheaper" often becomes more expensive.

Get startedThe Out-of-Pocket Reality
Flight training is a significant investment. While benefits and financing can help, most students pay for at least some portion out-of-pocket. The good news: once you reach CFI status, you can start earning while building the hours needed for ATP. Many of our students fund their final 500-1000 hours through CFI income.
