Flight Instruction at Embry-Riddle

Embry-Riddle's flight program is designed to allow students to earn their ratings in three years (unlike many other schools). Embry-Riddle also lobbied Congress to allow its students to receive a restricted ATP with 500 less hours than the FAA mandated 1,500 hours, allowing our students to be years ahead of others in their career field. Students pay after each flight activity and costs vary by student ability, flight ratings being pursued, and other factors. Flight training takes place in state of the art aircraft — Cessna 172s and Diamond DA42s — with Garmin G1000 glass cockpits and ADS-B real time radar. Additional flight training takes place in the Cessna 182RG and the Cessna 152s utilized by Golden Eagle Flight Team.

U.S. Citizens

Although you may apply for admission at any time, we urge you to do so early. U.S. citizens and permanent residents should apply at least 60 days prior to the beginning of classes for the semester of application.

International Applicants

International applicants should apply at least 90 days prior to the beginning of classes for the semester of application.

How do I pay for flight training?

After completing the training session, you may pay for your session online through the Education and Training Administration (ETA) system. You may pay with a credit card, debit card or with your Flight Account. The Flight Account is a prepaid deposit account where account funds are accessible to pay for flight activities only. Remember, any combination of these payment methods may be used at any time.

Fixed Wing Flight Fees

All course estimates for flight courses are based on minimum course requirements. Because each student will advance based on their own individual flying proficiency during each phase of their training, students are encouraged to budget additional funds to account for individual progress.

In addition to their academic credit hour tuition costs, flight students should budget between $20,000-$30,000 per academic year while they are actively flying. It is imperative that students have sufficient funds available to start and complete flight courses. This ensures continuity of training  and helps to avoid additional flight costs.

It is also highly recommended that students plan to fly a minimum of one complete summer semester during their tenure. Required flight courses are listed on the next page. When students successfully complete all required courses they will have Commercial and Multi-Engine Instrument ratings and will have gained over 190 hours of aeronautical experience.
