Sunflight Solo Program

July 19 to August 7
High School Juniors and Seniors

The goal of SunFlight Solo is for all qualified students to solo under the FAA Part 61 Flight Training Curriculum by the end of the program. Areas of study include air traffic control, meteorology, navigation, and federal aviation regulations. (A qualified student is determined by regulations set by the FAA and the discretion of the student's flight instructor.)

Students must be 16 years old prior to the end of the camp session. All participants must obtain an FAA Class II Medical/Student Pilot Certificate prior to submitting an application. (Students must possess a Class II Medical/Student Pilot Certificate, not a Class II Medical. Please contact our office prior to obtaining the Medical/Student Pilot Certificate if the student will be 15 years of age when submitting an application.)

Tuition is $6,500 and includes supervised housing, on-campus meals, ground lab instruction, flight materials, books, and field trips. (Tuition includes a deposit towards the Flight Fees. Total Flight costs vary and are dependent upon the student's abilities. Flight fees will be due at the completion of each flight lesson.) Advanced registration discount of $500 is applied to all completed application packets received by April 10, 2009.
