Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much does it cost to become a pilot in Minnesota?

A: It depends person to person. Factors all include the CFI, the plane, the cost of fuel, and most importantly the speed of learning. Generally speaking students who are focused, preparing for lessons, flying multiple times per week a private pilot will run you around $10,000. Always work with your CFI to build out a better quote as prices can vary.

Q: Can I finance my training?

A: At Myotis Aviation we maintain lending partnerships. So even though you are working with am independent CFI it is possible with us?
