Hour Building Packages — Single & Multi Engine
Pre-paid hour building packages from 10 to 1,500 hours. The more hours you commit to, the lower your per-hour rate — all the way down to $60/hr single-engine and $160/hr multi.

What Is Included in Every Package
All published rates are wet — fuel, oil, and maintenance are included. The Hobbs meter is the billing meter.
No fuel surcharges, no membership fees, no monthly minimums. Lock in the per-hour rate for the entire package.
Aircraft availability up to 12 hours per day, 7 days per week, supported by our 24/7 in-house maintenance team.
Shared time building option lets both pilots log PIC time under simulated instrument conditions.
Choosing Between Single and Multi-Engine Hours
Most pilots build the bulk of their time single-engine, because the rate is a fraction of a twin and the FAA total-time requirement does not care which engine count produced it. Multi-engine time is bought deliberately and in smaller quantities — enough to be competitive for a regional application, or enough to satisfy the specific requirements of a Commercial multi-engine add-on or an instructor position.
A common split is the great majority of the block single-engine with a focused twin block near the end, when your instrument and cross-country skills are already sharp and every twin hour is used efficiently rather than spent relearning basics at twice the cost.
Sharing Hours With Another Pilot
Two qualified pilots can split the cost of a flight while each logging useful time, provided only one acts as pilot-in-command at a time and the logbook entries reflect reality. Handled correctly, shared flying nearly halves the cost per pilot on long cross-countries. Handled carelessly, it produces logbook entries that will not survive an airline audit — so we brief the rules before your first shared leg.
Turning Hours Into Employability
Two pilots can hold identical totals and be worlds apart on paper. Prioritise night time, actual instrument time, cross-countries over fifty nautical miles, and arrivals into Class B and Class C fields. Keep a running summary of those categories as you fly rather than reconstructing them the week an application opens.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which hour building package is right for me?
If you are heading toward a commercial certificate, the 100 or 200-hour package is a common starting point. Pilots heading to ATP minimums often pre-pay the 500 or 1,000-hour package to lock in the lowest per-hour rate.
Can I upgrade my package mid-program?
Yes. If you start with 100 hours and want to extend to 500, we will credit your hours and apply the larger package rate going forward.
Are package hours single or multi engine?
Both. Single-engine packages start at $90/hr (10 hrs) and drop to $60/hr (1,500 hrs). Multi-engine packages start at $190/hr (10 hrs) and drop to $160/hr (1,500 hrs).
How long do I have to use my package hours?
Packages do not expire on a fixed timeline. Most students complete a 100-hour package in 10 days and a 500-hour package in 40 days when training full-time.
