Flight training completion rates vary based on student comprehension level, frequency of lessons, and the motivation and dedication of the individual student. Students learn at different rates. This is especially true in the challenging field of aviation. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has a set of completion standards for each flight certificate offered by Elizabeth City State University (ECSU). These standards must be met in order for the student to be eligible to take the FAA practical test also known as a check ride.
Fees are assessed as flat rate and are based on fuel and maintenance cost and are subject to change at any time.
***Lab fees are only refundable in accordance with ECSU’s Tuition Refund Policy during the initial semester of enrollment.
(*) Denotes required courses for the Flight Education Concentration.
Prices do not include costs of FAA check ride examiner fee, knowledge test fee, and flight materials (headset, navigational charts, flight kits etc.) These costs are paid directly to individuals or companies that are independent of ECSU.
In order to keep flight training costs as low as possible, ECSU does not charge students for flight and ground instruction. Students receive flight training at cost, paying only for operating and maintenance cost of the aircraft.
