A.T.C. offers several ways to pay for flying. Our most cost effective is the Club program but in this economy many people are concerned about making a 6 month commitment. While we do promote the Club you are free to fly and pay hourly if you prefer. Below are the available options:

See hour limits. Contract with terms will be signed prior to start of training

 Up to 65 hours in 172 and 30 hours with CFI. Can be paid in 3 installments. Up to 1 year to complete. If license not attained in hours listed, discounts available for remainder of training.

** Whether you fly hourly or in the club, fuel is not included in the price. Potomac Airfield has a Fuel Club you must join for $18 per month and you pay the same as we would. The price of fuel fluctuates so much that if is to your advantage to buy the fuel from the airport and allows us to keep our prices consistent. Signing up for the airport fuel club is easy since it is done at the same time you apply for your clearance.

*** Flight time isn't limited so much as scheduling is. The primary goal is to ensure fair usage of the aircraft for all pilots. A.T.C. will do everything possible to ensure everyone can fly. If aircraft become too busy we will add aircraft.
