Cost

At Rising Wings Aviation Inc., we understand that no one appreciates underestimates or sugarcoated costs. During your New Student Consultation, we provide a thorough breakdown of all flight training expenses, ensuring you’re never left with unexpected surprises.

Compared to similar flight schools nationwide, we are confident that our programs deliver exceptional efficiency and value. Over the years, countless students have told us, “You get what you pay for with flight training.” Unfortunately, many schools advertise only their bare minimum pricing and offer no apologies when actual costs exceed those estimates.

Because training times often go beyond the FAA’s required minimum hours, it’s essential to choose a flight school that sets honest and realistic pricing expectations. Rising Wings Aviation Inc. is that school.
