Gettysburg Flight School

Gettysburg Flight School (W05)

Transparent Pricing, Built for Momentum

Two options. No hidden fees. No pressure. Pick the path that fits where you are right now — or start with a discovery flight, $160 (20% off the regular $200) through the end of August or until we reach full capacity, and decide from there.

Founding Five: our first 5 sign-ups get 20% off their first 3 lessons too.

Serious about training. Smart about savings.

Stop anytime. Your unused deposit is always refunded.

Aircraft (Wet)~$180.50/hr

Instruction~$76/hr

Deposit$5,000

Discount5% on all charges

  • 3 months of Ask the Books free, our AI study assistant grounded in official FAA materials (every student gets their first month free)
  • A free mock checkride with Ben, our lead CFI: a full 2 hour practice oral at no charge, then Ben rides along free for the flight portion so you fly the real profile before the real day (aircraft time bills at your normal rate)
  • 5% off every hour you fly and every hour you train, roughly $1,000 in savings over a typical PPL

A $5,000 deposit locks in a 5% discount on every hour you fly and every hour you train. Keep refreshing your account with the same discounted block until you reach your goal. Simple, transparent, and built for students who are ready to commit.

Ground school is not included. We recommend Sporty's or King Schools — both available for under $300.

FAA medical exam, written test fee, and checkride examiner fees are not included in any package.

Unused balance on the 5K Block is fully refundable after PPL completion. Early cancellation removes the discounted rate and applies an administrative fee.

The free mock checkride included with the 5K Block covers Ben's instructor time only: the 2 hour practice oral is free and Ben rides along at no charge for the flight portion. Aircraft time for the flight portion bills at your normal rate.

The 5% discount applies while your 5K Block deposit lasts. Once the deposit is used up, new charges post at Pay As You Go rates. If you purchase your next 5K Block before your account falls more than $1,000 behind, the 5% discount is applied retroactively to the charges in between, so staying topped up means you never lose the discount.

Students on a discounted package must complete at least one flight per calendar year to maintain their discounted rate. Students who go 12 months without a logged flight will be reviewed and may be transitioned to Pay As You Go pricing with any unused balance refunded.

The 20% discovery flight discount applies to everyone, no signup required, and runs through the end of August or until we reach full capacity, whichever comes first. Founding Five pricing (20% off the first 3 lessons) is limited to the first 5 students to sign up. After the third lesson, pricing reverts to Pay As You Go rates unless a 5K Block is purchased.

Not Sure Which Option Is Right for You?

Start with a discovery flight. 45 minutes in the air, 1.5 hours total, $160 (20% off the regular $200) through the end of August or until we reach full capacity, and you will have everything you need to make a confident decision.
