FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We know financing for your education is important so you can get started right away. Here are some frequently asked questions when it comes to paying for FLT Academy’s flight training.
Because FLT Academy offers multiple financing options for prospective pilots, the timeline may vary. Typically, financing approvals take less than a week if a co-signer is not required.
Everyone over the age of 18 is eligible to apply to FLT Academy’s lending partners. Based on your credit profile, lenders may require a co-signer. Current lending options are:
- Sallie Mae
- ZuntaFi Skybound
- Stratus Financial
Sallie Mae is only available to Accelerated Career-Track or Accelerated Career-Track+ students. Single rating and/or Less-Accelerated Career-Track students are not eligible for Sallie Mae loan options.
ZuntaFi Skybound is available for any program type or pace. Accelerated or Less-Accelerated, Career-Track program or single rating add-on, Skybound is an option. Please know that Skybound finances 90% of a student’s estimated cost of training, leaving a 10% responsibility to the student which must be paid to FLT Academy upon enrollment.
Stratus Financial is available to Accelerated/Less-Accelerated Career-Track/Career-Track+ Program students. Single ratings/add-ons are not applicable.
Interest rates, terms, deferments, etc. are all dependent on what an applicant is approved for.
For this reason, FLT Academy is unable to provide an answer to this question. Prospective students planning to finance their training should visit the lenders websites, submit their application, and see what terms/rates/payments they qualify for.
- Single Ratings: ZuntaFi Skybound
- Career-Track Programs (Accelerated): Sallie Mae, ZuntaFi Skybound, and Stratus Financial
- Career-Track Programs (Less-Accelerated): ZuntaFi Skybound and Stratus Financial
You are only responsible to repay the funds used up to the point you halt your training, plus any associated fees incurred. Any unused funds at that time must be returned to the lender.
Loan terms are based on approvals. To know what specific loan terms you would be facing, you must submit your application for financing to the lenders.
As of yet, there are no tuition discounts available. However, tuition can be reduced if a student has verified, previous flight training, or has their own equipment, such as a cellular iPad or aviation headset, to use.
Depending on the type of training (Career-Track Program vs private pilot, etc…), almost everything is included in our training estimates and covered by financing. All ground schools, books & materials, aviation headset, cellular iPad, ForeFlight subscription, FAA checkride/written test fees, flight time, instructor charges, flight bag essentials, and more are all factored in! Things not covered include:
- Cellular Data Plan for iPad (not required, but highly recommended. Must be obtained through your cellular network provider)
- Non-Owner Aircraft Renters Insurance (Approximately $250/year for a pilot with no prior experience)
- Enrollment documents and other requirements (drug test, FAA medical evaluation, background check, driving record, etc.)
Each student has an account with Flight Schedule Pro. From that dashboard, all financing can be tracked, right down to where every penny has been spent on flight training.
