Take Flight Aviation, much like every other aviation operator, has been facing every increasing insurance and operating costs this year. We have also been updating our DA20 fleet with upgraded equipment while at the same time slowly upgrading our DA40 fleet to include more new DA40NG’s. As a byproduct, we will be making a small correction to our retail pricing effective July 1st.

The rate increases are quite small, but allow us to continue to operate and offer the best training, equipment and maintenance all under one roof. We thank you for your continued patronage.

Conditions and Terms Subject to Change

The post Two Great Ways to Finance your Flight Training at Take Flight Aviation first appeared on Take Flight Aviation.

Both aircraft offer significant tax incentives and a new DA40NG offers a complete factory warranty. Take Flight Aviation’s Diamond Factory Authorized Service and its team of skilled technicians provides a complete maintenance program, and, by having an aircraft in our fleet, you benefit from economic savings through our fleet owner incentive program.

We currently have access to one mint-condition late-model DA40 with G1000/GFC 700 Autoflight system on which you can take immediate delivery AND one delivery position on a factory-new DA40NG. With spring coming, now’s the time to purchase a cutting-edge single-engine Diamond four-place aircraft and let it pay for itself while you enjoy it, too!

Contact Take Flight Aviation, New York’s and the Northeast’s premier general aviation services and flight training center, for more information.

It’s for this reason that we caution you not to shop on price alone, but instead shop for value – and know the questions you need to ask to identify it. Recall that Value is defined as “The regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something.”

Most of our competitors like to advertise low prices which they know aren’t representative of what you’ll ultimately end up paying but they use those rates to get you in the door. Worse, the quality of training at these companies is marginal at best, so you end up paying more in the end for shoddy training, chronically-broken aircraft and instructors who are more interested in building hours than building pilots. Our price estimates represent the average of what our clients actually end up spending – allowing you to see a real, all-inclusive cost estimate.

Value goes far beyond realistic estimates though. Take Flight Aviation builds successful pilots with a nearly non-existent drop-out rate. We offer:

• Proprietary Part 61 training programs and Part 141 programs designed for accelerated training
• A large fleet of 18 aircraft consisting primarily of late-model Diamond DA20 and DA40 aircraft
• Two Multi-Engine Diamond DA42NG aircraft
• A dozen full-time flight instructors –all of whom have gone through extensive in-house training
• We work with multiple Examiners to eliminate wait times for check rides
  We are the recipient of multiple AOPA Flight Training Experience Awards including best in Nation, Best in The Northeast and President’s Choice Awards for innovation
• Training for all fixed-wing land ratings
• Financing available
• Well above national average pass rates
• Nearly non-existent drop-out rate
• Large in-house maintenance department
• Career counseling
• Employment potential after graduation
• On-Time and On-Budget graduations
• Real-world New York area training environment, but at a quiet and efficient airfield

So…what questions should you ask to identify value? Use the list above as a guide. Take Flight Aviation offers the best value in general aviation training and services. You worked hard to make your money, why spend more than you need to and get less than the best? Take Flight Aviation – The BEST VALUE in General Aviation Training and Services

Here’s the reality of the situation….. you’re training for a corporate or airline job that you’ll be applying to in a couple of years. You have to earn your ratings and work as an Instructor for better than a year before you’re filling out applications.

Any blip in the world economy or pilot hiring today will make the pilot shortage even more acute by the time you’re apply for those jobs. Even the US Government is being petitioned to try to help ease the pilot shortage: https://nbaa.org/professional-development/workforce-initiatives/senate-introduces-nbaa-supported-bill-to-promote-transportation-industry-careers/.

Take Flight Aviation specializes in getting our clients the Licenses and Ratings they seek. So many flight schools make a great effort to get you in the door, but then fail to have a solid plan of action to get you through their programs efficiently and back out that door…onto the flight line making a living. Take Flight’s FAA Part 141 Approved Professional Pilot Training Program has a proven record of success – graduating students in 7-9 months – taking you from zero flight experience to commercially rated Flight Instructor with Instrument and Multi Engine Instruction ratings. Better yet – we hire most of our graduates to work as full time Flight Instructors and mentor them as they develop their skills in preparation of the rest of their careers. Some choose to stay and grow with us…something almost unheard of at other flight training schools.

Of course, all of this is useless if you can’t afford it, so Take Flight Aviation has developed a relationship with Meritize financing to put the cost of flight training squarely in the range that most working people can afford. In fact, with Meritize, you pay nothing up front, but instead, pay as you start making money as a pilot. It’s a very unique program and offers a real chance for people looking to become professional pilots to make their goals a reality. Learn more about it here: https://www.takeflightoc.com/professional-pilot-financing/

Take Flight Aviation places a great emphasis on your safety and well-being. Our aircraft are maintained to the highest standards in house and they are disinfected between lessons. We are focused on keeping Take Flight a place where you can comfortably know there are no nasty viruses lurking – even our common areas, bathrooms, door handles and classrooms are disinfected multiple times every day. We have a policy of asking our staff and clients not to come in if they feel any signs of illness. Given that we work with a select clientele who follows our no illness policy and disinfect constantly, Take Flight Aviation is one of the safest places you can go today.

The time to start your training is right now. There’s a huge demand for pilots…and the current world environment is going to make the shortage of pilots more acute than ever by the time you’re ready to apply for your dream job. Take Flight Aviation is ready to help you get there. Don’t get shut out by starting too late. Now’s the time!

Give us a call to get started.
