Aircraft For Training

The most expensive part of flight training is the cost of the aircraft.   This can be managed by picking the right aircraft for training.   Each student pilot has different needs and wants so it is best to consult your instructor to help determine the best aircraft for your training.   Some students may have their own aircraft and the flight instruction can be accomplished with it.
