phase vs. block options
Phase Option
Currently available only for the Private Pilot program.
The Phase Option for Private Pilot is a great way to make 4 equal, predictable, and easy payments for each of the 4 phases of the program while adding great benefits like unlimited Cessna ground training and the Checkride Guarantee.
​
If you sign up for the Phase Option within 30 days of your first Discovery Flight, we'll credit the cost of the Discovery Flight to your first phase payment.
Here's what you'll get:
1. 40 hours of flight training (30 hours of dual instruction flight time and 10 hours of solo flight time)
2. Aircraft for checkride
3. Unlimited Cessna ground training
​
What are the costs?
Training costs are dependant upon which aircraft you select for training, but your program will be broken down into 4 equal payments. View rates for the Private Pilot Program.
​
Can I switch aircraft?
Absolutely! If you make changes between aircraft, we will periodically audit your program progress and bill or credit you for any differences in costs incurred.
block Option
Available for all training programs and aircraft rentals.
​
The Block Option allows the pilot to save $5 per hour on any aircraft!
​
This could translate into hundreds of dollars in savings!
The Block Option works like putting money onto a prepaid card. Simply add money to your A-Cent account at our Pilot Shop, and we will issue you an A-Cent prepaid card* that you'll swipe each time you fly.
​
When your balance gets low, just recharge your card in the Pilot Shop.
It's never been so easy to save money when you fly!
​
*Initial fee for A-Cent Card is $2. Replacement cards issued if lost or stolen at a cost of $2 per occurrence. Minimum $1000 block deposit required.
