Our Training Philosophy

 The Solution

Train to Optimum Standards.  At IFR Flight Training School™ our training philosophy is to train to Optimum Standards and Proficiency. Training to optimum standards may seem more expensive, and can be, but after cost overruns in competitor programs, which are very common, the gap closes significantly. Flying is a serious undertaking. Your life is important, as are the lives of your family members, friends, or paying passengers that you will be taking up into the air. It is critically important that you are able to fly your best.

When you choose a flight training program based on the lowest price, it’s important to consider cost overruns, in addition to compromised safety. Here are some questions to ask.

Does the estimate of the training cost include:

• Aircraft Rental and quality of the aircraft (realistic times based on national average and how frequently you will be able to train)
• Instructor time
• All supplies (Headsets, charts, books, media, etc.)
• All testing fees (Including  your FAA oral and practical exams)
• And More  ..there are many more important financial issues to consider. We are up front about all training costs.
