2016 Per Hour Pricing
Our pricing is straightforward and clear.
Each price you see to the right listed is
the fixed per hour cost for the individual
services provided by Epic Flight
Academy. When a student signs their
Student Agreement they are locked into
these prices with a guarantee that they
will not increase for the duration of the
student's contracted training. Even if
the student continues training into the
next calendar year or requires a short
unforeseen absence their pricing stays
the same. There are no landing fees at
our airport and all the pricing you see
includes fuel!
We have nothing to hide and
want you to have the necessary
information to properly budget and
have as a comparison as you make
your decision as to which flight
school to attend. For the training
resources we utilize, quality of
education, and ideal location for
flight training we are confident our
pricing is not only competitive but
clearly, for several reasons, Epic
is the best choice. As we tell all
of our future students, if you find
something better please bring it to
your Admissions Representative’s
attention so that we can explain the
differences or have the opportunity
to try and match the price. What
more could you ask for?

Local Area information
& Fun activities
Epic Flight Academy is located in sunny New Smyrna Beach,
Florida. A safe and amazing little beach town with incredible
restaurants, fun outdoor activities such as surfing, fishing,
paddle boarding, kayaking, skydiving and much more! Our
major neighboring city is the famous Daytona Beach where
students can fly around the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse and be
spectators of world famous events such as Bike Week and
Formula 1 racing.
During your stay Epic will periodically coordinate student
events to local attractions because everyone needs a break
from studying and to have a little fun! A student favorite is
the Kennedy Space Center where they launch NASA’s space
shuttles and rockets including a full exploration center of
space gadgets, astronaut life, and launch simulator. A must
experience is the Daytona Speedway for any and all types
of racing cars, trucks, and motorcycles.
Of course, a short drive away are famous theme parks that
no one should leave Florida without experiencing. There
is Disney World, Universal Studios, Magic Kingdom, Epcot
Center, Sea World, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios,
Typhoon Lagoon, Bush Gardens, Wet N Wild, and so much
more. Excellent graduation celebration spots!

F.A.Q.
1
How long does the training
typically take from start
to finish?
You can complete in as little as 6-8 months (FAA commercial),
12-14 months (dual EASA/FAA commercial), and 3 months
(CFI,CFII,MEI).
2
3
Depending on the course you choose, you will have either an FAA
commercial multi engine license with instrument privileges, dual
EASA/FAA commercial multi engine licenses with instrument
privileges, FAA certified flight instructor (CFI,CFII,MEI), or any
individual FAA license you choose to complete.
How do I calculate the
total cost?
Allow our Admissions Team to assist you in this! We encourage
students to use our Student Progression Chart for Budgeting as a
guide for tuition, then add in your Housing and Non Tuition Fees for
an accurate estimate. Students typically spend $300 per month
in food and shopping for necessities....as long as they’re not eating
out at a restaurant for each meal. If students want their own
vehicle they can purchase a scooter for around $400 and even a car
for as little as $1,000. It won’t be the nicest car but it will get them
around town and to class.

licenses will I have when I
complete?
