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
Representatives attention so
that we can explain the
differences or have the
opportunity to try and match
the price. What more could
you ask for?

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 NASAs
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.

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).

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 theyre
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
wont be the nicest car but it will get them around town
and to class.

What certifications/
licenses will I have
when I complete?

What are the

requirements to join?

Be at least 17 years of
age
Have completed your high school
education
Have a valid international
