The AOPA
Flight Training
Advantage
A growing number of flight
schools and instructors
are taking advantage of
the AOPA Flight Training
Advantage (AFTA), an adaptive
flight training system
designed to help students
progress through training
more efficiently. With AFTA,
you always know what to
expect and how to prepare
for each flight. It's free to
AOPA members, instructors,
and schools-ask if your flight
school uses AFTA as part of
its primary training program.

TIME AND MONEY
The exciting thing about learning to fly
is that the possibilities are endless: If
two pilots start out with lessons in the
same four-seat Cessna 172, one might go
on to land on gravel bars in Alaska while
the other lands a job in the flight deck
of a Boeing. Requirements and training
for different types of flying vary, so the
instructor at your local flight school
(probably) isn't deflecting when you
ask how much training will cost and
they say it depends. But the conversation
shouldn't end there. A good flight
school or instructor will give you an
overview of training and set some basic
expectations based on your goals and
circumstances. The most important
expectations involve time and money.
The biggest factor affecting both
is the level of certification you want to
earn. To fly for an airline, for instance,
you'll need to progress through multiple
levels of certification over the course
of years; that's where you'll see higher
cost estimates that often involve making
an acquaintance with Sallie Mae. Many
pilots earn an initial certificate, however,
in 50 to 80 hours of flying and spending
$8,000 to $16,000. You may decide to
add certificates and ratings later as your
aviation goals change (see " That's the
Ticket, " p. 32), but a private, sport, or
recreational certificate opens the door
to the freedom and community of flying.
In flight training, costs are mostly
determined by the aircraft rental
(usually " wet, " which means it includes
fuel costs) and instruction time from a
certificated flight instructor (including
on the ground and in the air), both billed
hourly. Geographic location affects the
rate for both, and other factors in hourly
costs include a CFI's experience level or
specialty and the age, size, and sophistication
of the aircraft. The type of flight
school can influence the amount of
time you need to spend in the airplane,
as pilots in highly structured programs
