Frequently asked questions about financing:

Do I have to pay for my flight training up front?

Absolutely not.  All flying is arranged on a pay as you fly basis.  The majority of students and members pay for each flight flown.  Payment can be by cash, cheque, Direct Debit, Visa, Mastercard, or American Express.  Some students prefer to put a lump sum on account and fly it off.  We strongly advise that students be wary of any flight training institution that insists on a large amount up front.

What loans are available for Commercial Flight Training?

The government has student loans available for Commercial, Multi-IFR, and Instructor training.  You must submit an application obtained from the Club along with a copy of your Private Pilot Licence and Category 1 medical.  A student cannot apply for these loans until they have completed their PPL.  The amount of funding available ranges from $3,400 to $4,420 depending on the legth of study.  Full time study is required.
