1. The total CPL training cost is approximately $$77,988.35, which includes tuition and non-tuition costs.

3. We have Cessna 172s, equipped with the G1000 glass cockpit and twin-engine Piper Seminoles/PA-44. https://epicflightacademy.com/epic-fleet/
4. Each ground school batch usually has 12–20 students, with an instructor-to-student ratio of about 1:5 for optimal attention.
5. On-campus housing is available from $700–$900/month, with off-campus options ranging based on location and preferences.
6. Daily training typically runs from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, including simulator sessions, ground classes, and flight slots depending on weather and instructor availability.
7. Florida offers year-round flying weather with mostly VFR conditions, and the airspace is active yet well-suited for student pilots.
8. Yes, we have several Indian students, and we guide them through DGCA-compliant training pathways and document preparation.
9. We offer both Part 141 and Part 61 training, allowing flexibility depending on student needs and visa category.
10. Already included in non-tuition cost provided. However, additional time-building is available for $149.10/hr.
11. Yes, we offer a CFI program; however, international graduates are currently not eligible to work as instructors due to visa restrictions, and no sponsorship is provided for instructor work visas.
Thank you!
