How The Discounted
Aircraft Rate Works

Effective January 2026, students and renters can unlock ActivePILOT aircraft discount rates through approved advance-payment options.

These discounts are applied after each lesson when the account keeps a positive balance over $500. Discount eligibility is valid only for the current phase of training and does not carry over to future ratings.

Aircraft Rate Discount: Students and renters can unlock $10 off the hourly aircraft rental rate with an initial block payment of $3,000.

Balance requirement: A positive balance over $500 must be maintained to automatically receive the aircraft discount at the end of each lesson.

Additional ratings: For each future phase of training, a new $3,000 initial block payment is required to continue receiving $10 off the hourly aircraft rental rate.

Pay in Advance Discount: Students can unlock 5% off the hourly aircraft rental rate and 10% off the hourly instructor rate by paying the estimated program cost in full before training begins.

Program transfer: Block times apply to all fleets of aircraft and are transferable to all programs currently offered by ActivePILOT.

Pay As You Go: Students are not required to make advance payments before lessons. With Pay As You Go, a valid card is kept on file and charges are made after each completed lesson for the instruction and aircraft time actually used.

Accepted payment methods: ActivePILOT accepts cash, check, credit card, debit card, Zelle, and Flight Schedule Pro's online payment system.

Referral credit: Bring a friend who is also interested in training and both accounts can receive a $180 flight training credit after the referral unlocks the Aircraft Rate Discount or completes 3 flight training lessons.

Refund policy: If training ends, remaining balances are eligible for a pro-rated refund issued within 20 business days, minus the original discount credit from the last 5 flight or ground lessons where a discount was included.
