Why learn to fly with CAP Flying?

For one thing, cost: Our basic trainer is $40 per hour dry, about $75 per hour fueled at current prices. For contrast, check out the flight schools' prices.

For another, experience: At the typical flight school, your primary instructor will be some kid with 400 hours who has never really been alone in the airplane except for mandatory solos. This kid is building hours and can't wait for the first job offer. What can he offer you? In our club we have seasoned instructor pilots who teach for the love of aviation. We have this to offer: thousands of hours of experience and a focus on your goals.

Our typical student has spent $6,000 for the private certificate, $6,000 for the instrument rating, and $4,000 for the single-engine commercial certificate. The multi-commercial-instrument add-on has been accomplished in as few as five hours of flying. (Hate you, Bligh. It took me 10 hours.)

Gulfstream school cost my prize student twice all that!

Even if your only goal is the private pilot certificate, you will get a superior education in our club.
