FINANCIAL HELP

Flight training requires a major time commitment and financial planning. At SIFC our programs take the financial requirement into consideration. Ground school must be paid for as a lump sum, as well as your books. Our self-paced programs allow you to pay for your flight and simulator training as you go. This allows you to space out your fees based on your financial position. Unfortunately we can not offer credit for our services.
