Programs

What you can train for here.

Sport pilot

The fastest, lowest-cost route to flying yourself, taught in the club's Jabiru light sport aircraft.

Private pilot (Part 61)

Flexible Part 61 scheduling with an A4-approved contract CFI, in light sport or the Cirrus SR20-G2.

Instrument rating

IFR work in a glass-panel SR20-G2 with real Class B airspace a short flight south.

Time building

Hour building toward a commercial certificate at the lowest wet rate in the fleet.

Why here

A DFW flight school without the airline traffic.

Pilots drive to KDTO from Denton, Frisco, Flower Mound, Argyle, Lewisville, Plano, Keller and north Fort Worth because the field is towered, uncongested, and minutes from open practice areas.

Denton Enterprise Airport is a towered general aviation field. Plan flight and appointment time with your instructor; weather, traffic, aircraft and instructor availability affect the day.

Published wet rates

Fuel is included in every hourly rate, so your training budget is predictable from day one.

One invoice

Aircraft time, instruction and dues on a single club statement. The club pays your CFI directly.

Billing

One invoice. The club handles all of it.

A4 handles all billing, including instruction. Aircraft time at the published wet rate, instruction and membership dues arrive on a single club invoice — you never settle up separately with your CFI, and instructors never chase students for payment. The club pays approved CFIs directly.

The club rate includes fuel. To compare against a dry rental, add the fuel line above to that rental's posted hourly rate. Instruction, when you fly with a club CFI, appears on the same club invoice — one invoice, everything included.
