Frequently Asked QuestionsAre there any additional or hidden fees?There are no hidden fees you need to add to our Total Prices. Keep in mind that only Aircraft Rentals and Block Time Packages are subject to taxation due to Florida Laws. No taxes apply to the rest Training courses. Additional fees you will need to pay is your medical examination, which does not take place at the Flight School's facility. There are numerous Medical Doctors in the area and you should plan on spending anywhere from $85 to $125 for the medical exam. Finally, you will also need to pay for the Designated Pilot Examiner to administer your fight test and the Private Pilot Knowledge Test. Expect to pay anywhere within a range of $200 to $500 for the DPE's fee and approximately from $100 to $160 for the multiple choice knowledge test. Does Flight Training count towards college credit?In fact, it does! If you enroll in an aviation related University or Community college, they will accept your current licenses as college credit. Credits per license vary according to the Institution and you should contact them for more information. Why is flight training so expensive?Ultimate Air Academy's prime goal is to provide quality flight services at affordable prices. However, aircraft maintenance, aircraft parts, aviation fuel, aircraft value as well as insurance add up. We take pride in our low prices without lowering our safery standards; therefore, flight training can be very expensive, but we strive to provide the most affordable training courses and rental programs in the area. Can I pay after each lesson instead of financing?Of course, numerous students choose to pay as they go. You should plan on flying approximately 1 to 1.5 hours for each flight session and spend about the same time on each ground session. Why should I attend your school instead of a big time academy or other institution?There are many reasons. Number one we care about you as a student or customer. You will not be just another number. Unlike many other common schools that open with so many promises, our school is open because the people that work here love flying. There are many other things that we could do with our time to make much more money. Instead we would rather share our love for aviation with you to keep general aviation alive. Our flight instructors actually care about your progress and respect the fact that your money and time has a very big value. At the end of the day a FAA license will be exactly the same if you got it through us or a big time flight school like Embry Riddle or ATP. It is like an investemnt on a house, do your homework and shop around. You are better off going with a local FBO flight school like Jacksonville Flight Training. The biggest difference between you and the other guy is going to be the money spent on flight training. What can I do if I get air sick easily?Believe it or not, air sickness is a very common phenomenon. We reassure you that eventually it will go away. Typically, your system will start adapting to the environmental changes within the first few flight lessons. However, you should always inform your Flight Instructor so he can help you deal with the symptoms by keeping the flight short and only flying when there is minimum turbulence. Under no circumstances should you let air sickness stop you from pursuing your aviation goals! When does a Private License expire?Never actually! The license is valid for the rest of your life unless FAA suspends or revokes it in case you do not comply or violate any of the regulations. Nevertheless, you have to be current in order for you to exercise your Private Pilot privileges. For instance, you must make 3 landings every 90 days and complete a biennial flight review in order to be able to carry passengers. The biennial flight review consists of a flight session of minimum of one hour and a ground session of one hour minimum with a Flight Instructor. Can I bring my family or friends along on my flights?You will have the chance to bring a companion during some parts of your flight training. Typically though, it will not be allowed for approximately the first ten flight sessions where stalls and other practice maneuvers will be performed. What are the differences between a Part 61 and a Part 141 Flight School?As a student sets in search of a flight school, the first thing he/she may encounter is whether the school is a Part 61 or Part 141 Approved flight school. Each denotes a federal regulation the school has authority to operate to train its pilots. Both regulations exercise minimum requirements to train and certify pilots. However, any FAA-approved flight instructor is able to train students under Part 61 regulations. Part 141 regulations relate to the structure and approval of flight schools, and the training under these regulations are related to FAA-approved flight schools. Part 141-approved flight schools must meet particular requirements and are subject to regular audits by the FAA. Nevertheless, students must follow the same standard of performance to obtain a pilot certification with both methods. The best way to select a flight school with either method is for a student to check his/her long-term goals for flying. Following are the potential advantages and disadvantages of both regulations as presented by Eric Radtke, president and Paul Jurgens, a chief instructor and vice president of publications of Sporty's Academy.

Part 61 Potential Disadvantages
Part 141 Potential Advantages

In essence, both regulations teach the same thing; however, it is best to select the one that best suits the students' goals and needs. Contact us |
