Memberships bill monthly and renew automatically — cancel anytime; cancellation stops future renewals, and your current month runs through its billing period. Unused flight hours and flight-instruction hours roll over for one month — after that it’s use-it-or-lose-it; free ground-instruction hours don’t roll over. Need a break? You can pause your membership for up to one month, and active-duty members with deployment orders can pause for the full length of deployment — just send us a copy of your orders. Military, first responder, teacher, and hospital staff discounts — including their family members — apply at checkout with your promo code; call (860) 287-0971 to get yours. After you join, we’ll call within one business day to set up scheduling and your first lesson.

Every hour flies at the same aircraft rate — $175/hr, fuel included, member or not. Tier discounts apply to instruction only: $70/hr pay-as-you-go, $65 Starter, $60 Core, $55 Pro, $50 Elite. Additional instructional flight time beyond a tier’s included hours is billed at your tier’s rates. Non-instructional (solo) flight time beyond a tier’s allocation is billed at the standard $175/hr aircraft rate plus applicable sales tax. At all tiers, up to 25% of included flight hours may be flown solo, subject to instructor authorization. Solo hours swap one-for-one against your included hours — and the flight instruction you don’t use in the air converts to an equal hour of ground instruction that month, so nothing you’ve paid for is lost. Applicable sales tax on solo time is included at no extra charge. Example: on Core, converting 2 of your 8 hours to solo yields 2 solo flight hours plus 2 additional ground hours on top of your included 4. Tier pricing is designed for active flight training; extended aircraft-only use is available under our non-subscription pricing.
