We know flight training is expensive, and we’re committed to helping you manage it. At The Pilots Collective, we don’t take any cut from aircraft owners or instructors—your money goes directly toward your training. For ground classes, we keep costs low by grouping students into cohorts based on their rating level, with each class having a minimum of six students. This allows us to offer high-quality instruction at just $10 per hour, saving you time, money, and the headache of trying to learn everything on your own. Instructors receive half of the total class revenue, ensuring they’re compensated fairly while still keeping costs affordable. The rest supports program operations and future student scholarships. On the flight side, instructors work to combine lessons and meet overlapping requirements—like fulfilling instrument and commercial tasks in the same flight—so you save both time and money. With efficient scheduling, a purpose-driven curriculum, and a community-first approach, we make sure every dollar counts.
