Epic’s Jacksonville Aircraft Fleet

Cessna 172

Our flight students train in brand new aircraft. We purchase the Cessna 172 with G1000 glass cockpit directly from the factory. This is the most popular and safe flight training aircraft. You can learn to fly in safe, new equipment, and complete your training in a timely manner. Epic is famous for its excellent equipment, highly skilled instructors, and high pass rate. Are you ready to achieve your pilot goals? We are standing by to help make those dreams a reality.

Flight Simulator

One reason Epic has such a high pass rate for FAA exams and checkrides is because our students have the opportunity to train in flight simulators. Advanced Aviation Training Devices (AATD), such as the FRASCA RTD, increase knowledge and skills. The G1000 open cockpit allows pilots to accurately simulate all types of flight maneuvers.

Cost to Attend Flight School

How much does it cost to go to flight school? We break down the complete cost of flight training from private pilot license through commercial through instructor. The cost varies between domestic pilots and international pilots. It also varies based on which ratings and certificates you want to earn. Your regular and consistent attendance and completion of flight lessons is critical to your success.

Again, this varies with every student based on attendance and ability. On average, it takes approximately 3 months to complete your PPL. Next, you’ll earning your Instrument Rating, which takes around 2 months. After that, your commercial pilot license (CSEL) will take another 2 months.
