So, what’s on the horizon?

Get more flight time with an Instrument Rating

As we all know, weather can change rapidly, therefore the value of an Instrument Rating, is a more prepared and skilled pilot. Earning your Instrument Rating following your Private Pilot License lessens your ability to be limited due to weather. As a private pilot, you are limited to flying under clear weather conditions by what you can see or Visual Flight Rules (VFR). However, a private pilot with an Instrument Rating has the ability to fly in varied conditions such as clouds by using the instruments of the aircraft or under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). You can expect to earn your instrument rating in as little as 6 weeks.

Quality flight training is a big investment…

For a huge career payoff! Pilot salaries are higher than ever before in the history of aviation and will keep rising for decades. Over the course of a typical career, an airline pilot might earn as much as $7 million.

To get there, make sure your Student FINANCING application is as strong as possible.
