American Winds Flight Academy, Inc., cannot predict the exact cost of your flight training beforehand.  The cost of flight training depends on many factors including type and size of airplane, how often you fly, and the time and dedication that you spend on academic study.  Monies paid for books and materials, flight check-rides or additional training hours are not included.  It is the policy of American Winds Flight Academy not to endorse an end of course check-ride until the student pilot has demonstrated the proficiency and satisfactory skills required as outlined in the FAA Practical Test Standards.
