Lower price correspond normally to lower quality of education due to inexperienced flight instructors, less aircraft and  maintenance standards, and less benefits they offer.

We fly Cessna 172 for the training as students will be receiving best flight training with highest standards. Pilot Training starts from Cebu Int’l airport until we fly all over the Philippines for cross-country flights and even up to Manila and down to Davao which can’t do with C-152 and C-150.

C-152 is phasing out already and limited availability of parts and the shipping time from States, Flying 172 (4 seater) is a much better option and we fly for training only Cessna 172.

Investing in good education rather than just getting a pilot´s license is a wise decision.
