A portion of each Flat Fee is non-refundable. Any unused portion of the remaining refundable Flat Fee funds will be returned upon request, providing the request is submitted before the 1-yr anniversary of the start of the course.

Additional costs (approximately $825 per course) are estimated for the FAA written exam, flight test rental and examiner fees. These fees are separate and must be paid by the student at the time of the FAA exams. Students are responsible for purchasing their own headset, the cost for which is not included in any of the totals above. Each of the courses is also assessed the standard tuition and fees by Fairmont State. All fees are to be paid in full at the beginning of the semester or paid through an approved payment plan. A list of possible lenders is available in the Financial Aid Office. Students must have Flat Fee funds on account before any flight lessons will take place.

Remedial training is provided for students who don’t complete a lesson on the first attempt. A maximum of 2 remedial trainings will be offered for a single lesson. A maximum of 8 remedial trainings will be offered for each course. After the 8th remedial training a student must go before a review board for evaluation and to determine if the student will be permitted to continue in the program. Please consult with the Program Manager and see the “Remedial Training” handout for more details.

If all of the flight lessons for a course are not completed within one semester and a grade of “Incomplete” is awarded, then the lessons may continue into the next semester. All flight training must be completed within one year from the start of the course. After one year without successful completion, the student will receive a failing grade. If the student still wishes to continue in the flight program, then the course must be retaken and a new fee will be assessed. Please note that the FAA and our program places restrictions on how much time may lapse between flight lessons without needing to repeat some of those lessons Ð check with the flight instructor or Chief for more information. Students must complete one flight lab course before enrolling in the next one. As of August 1, 2017, and until further notice, VA funding may be available for the flight training costs associated with the Private Pilot License. Please consult with the VA Certifying Agent at Fairmont State for the most current information available.
