Get funds for flight training

You have the desire. You have the dedication. You even have an AOPA Flight Training membership. It sounds like you're ready to start your flight training! But you may be missing one item crucial to your flight training success...the funds.

Luckily, AOPA can help with an AOPA Flight Training Funds account. This line of credit could be used toward everything from aircraft rental and flight instruction to books and supplies. You can choose from a Part 61 or Part 141 school - or even select an independent CFI. (Part 61 schools typically do not use set flight or ground training schedules or supervising staff, whereas Part 141 schools are required to provide a classroom facility, adhere to curriculum requirements, and have more structured paperwork requirements.) With predictable payments and no annual fee, it's easy to fit your flight training into your monthly budget. Don't put off your dream of becoming a pilot any longer. Let an AOPA Flight Training Funds account accelerate your flight plan.
