Embry-Riddle's flight program is designed to allow students to earn their ratings in three years (unlike many other schools). Embry-Riddle also lobbied Congress to allow its students to receive a restricted ATP with 500 less hours than the FAA mandated 1,500 hours, allowing our students to be years ahead of others in their career field. Students pay after each flight activity, and costs vary by student ability, flight ratings being pursued and other factors. Flight training takes place in state-of-the-art aircraft — Cessna 172s, and Diamond DA42s — with Garmin G1000 glass cockpits and ADS-B real-time radar.
How much will it cost to fly?
Please take into consideration that prices will vary per student since no two students learn at the same rate.
* Future costs and financial aid estimates are subject to change
Aviation Maintenance Science courses (courses with AMS prefix) are charged at a different rate than academic courses, and students in the AMS program will incur additional costs for tools.
