Plan flight and appointment time with your instructor; weather, traffic, aircraft and instructor availability affect the day. ### Aircraft that are actually available Our Cirrus SR20-G2 and Jabiru J170 fleet has published equipment and fuel-inclusive rates, centrally managed inspections and visible aircraft status. Availability can change for weather or maintenance. ### Rates you can see before you call Wet hourly rates are published on this site and come from the same record we bill against. Fuel is included, so a price move at the pump does not change your budget mid-training. Getting here from Dallas ## Denton is closer than most Dallas pilots assume. ### Uptown / Downtown Dallas ### Frisco, Plano, The Colony ### Carrollton, Lewisville, Flower Mound How training works ## Part 61, paid as you fly. Training starts with a $1,000 credited deposit, then aircraft plus instruction as used. No club joining fee or monthly dues are required for training. Aircraft wet rates include fuel; instruction is separate. See current booking terms. ### Start with one flight A discovery flight is a real lesson, logged as dual instruction, and counts toward your certificate. ### Fly the aircraft that fits Train in the light sport Jabiru for the lowest hourly cost, or the Cirrus SR20-G2 if you want glass, autopilot and a parachute from day one. ### Track every requirement The member portal logs your flights and shows exactly which Part 61 experience boxes are still open. Billing ## One invoice. The club handles all of it. A4 handles all billing, including instruction.
