WE ARE HERE TO HELP

Check out a few of our most common questions below from previous students and families. If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to get in touch and we’ll get you the information you need.

HOW MUCH IS TUITION?

Flight training is expensive, yet there has been no better time than now to begin your journey and take the skies. With record airline retirements forecasted for the next decade, begin training today and secure your seat for the future! At Drake, we maximize your investment by offering what no schools are which is a flexible syllabus that is tailored to you and your schedule. At a conventional flight school, commute times and expenses are not factored into your costs. Tired of driving just to sit at an old office and getting charged close to $100 an hour on something that could be accomplished more efficiently? Give us a call today and we will show you how we can keep your costs down with our Tiered Payment Plan and the use of Microsoft Smart technologies to get that face-to face communication anywhere in the county. Call today to see the difference consistent instruction at a fair price makes for your bottom line. Training packages start at only $100 a month.

CAN I SCHEDULE A SCHOOL VISIT?

With Drake, your office or favorite coffee shop is your new classroom not a stuffy room in an old hangar. For in-person networking events and classes, we do provide a physical campus for our students located in Southern California. All active students are welcome at our offices in Carlsbad California in the middle of Carlsbad Village. Stop by today and we would be happy to show you around!

WHAT DO I NEED TO GET STARTED?

A capable computer with a webcam and internet connection is all you need to get started with any of our online programs. Have you bought a simulator at home and are looking to maximize your instruction that way? Perfect! With programs such as MyControls our instructors can load into your aircraft anywhere in the country and provide high level instructor on the flows and maneuvers you will be tested on during your checkride. We are always looking for committed flight students at all levels in their training. Not satisfied with paying hundreds of dollars an hour at your flight school only to revisit the same topics the next time around? We don't blame you! Master the ground topics with our intuitive online approach which prepares and endorses you for the written tests, and walk back into your flight school telling them what you specifically need. We aim to empower our students with results. Don't give up, become a Drake today.
