Joining the Air Force is however not a guarantee of receiving pilot training competition for the places available are extremely competitive. Even though there may be hurdles on the way for those who choose to undergo aviation training through the military, those who are successful have a good number of advantages by the end of their service.

Apart from acquiring their pilot license, those who train in the military are highly regarded due to the excellent training facilities, exposure to diverse flying conditions that include some extreme situations, discipline and other such benefits of having been pilots in the military. The training here is free and you also get to earn a decent living as you serve your time in the military. The only disadvantage is that military trained pilots are not easily released from their service as it costs a lot of money to train them.

Another option for pilot training candidates who may have difficulties raising the required fees is in the form of education loans. Just like all other students in colleges, those looking at a flying career can opt to take education loans. Even though the loan amount is significantly higher than other courses, successful students will be able to repay their loans comfortably as their earnings are expected to be quite high.

Scholarships are another avenue that budding pilots can look at when trying to raise their training fees. It is not very common to find these kinds of scholarships and it will often require an individual’s initiative. The scarcity of pilot scholarships might in itself make your application special, as it will stand out from the others. In most cases, a piloting scholarship will be awarded on special grounds and you, as the candidate must make your case a special one.

It must be understood that aviation training involves the use of very expensive resources. Equipment, facilities, trainers and all other aspects of the training are very costly. This cost of training resources is what contributes the most to the high fees of training aviation personnel. However, by considering some of the options listed above or others that you may think of, you could work your way through training to eventually become the pilot or engineer you always dreamed of.

We normally operate on weekends and public holidays, but can also offer flights mid week by arrangement. All flights are subject to the availability of suitable weather conditions, gliders and instructors. Generally the best time to fly is between 12:00 midday and around 3:00 pm although you can get good flights outside these times depending on the weather.

For Air Experience flights the cost is $70 plus $2.00 per minute. Depending on the availability of up draughts to keep the glider up, our usual fight is around 30 min, but we can stay up for longer if our passenger wishes to do so and weather conditions are suitable. Without updraughts the flight time is around 8 min.

If you want to take a motor glider flight, the cost is $80 plus $2.50 per minute of flight time. The motor gliders are not dependent on updraughts to get a long flight.

We can also offer Gift certificates for $130. This is for a 30 min Glider flight (or 2 flights if there are no thermals to keep us up). If required, and a motor glider is available, this may be changed to a motor glider flight on the day you fly. We can email the Gift Certificate to you to print on your high quality colour printer or post it to you for a printing and postage fee of $5.00 if you supply your postal address. If a longer flight is required, time beyond 30 min costs $2 per min for the glider gift certificate and $2.50 per min for the motor glider. Any extra time can be paid after the completion of the flight.

Unfortunately, being a small club, we do not have credit card facilities. If you want a Gift Certificate please contact us by email or phone (0418 377 146 or 0417 565 514) and then deposit the funds into our bank account, details of which will be advised when you contact us.

Allegiant’s strategy, worth a look no matter what kind of brand you own or manage, is threefold: serve smaller markets neglected by the larger brands; cut costs by having customers pay for additional services they once enjoyed for free – without alienating those customers, of course; and partnering with brands in related businesses.

The typical Allegiant passenger travels from a small (usually cold) city like Bozeman, Montana, or Wichita, Kansas, to a vacation destination like Vegas or Orlando. That passenger will pay very little for his fare (an average of $87, one-way). But because of fees for everything from a glass of water to storing a quiver of arrows, he’ll be shelling out an average of $26 extra per flight.

Though it seems passengers should be rebelling against those extra charges, they don’t. Allegiant co-founder and chief executive Maury Gallagher tells the Financial Times:

If you live in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and we’re getting you out for $150 where once you had to pay $800, you almost want to be nice to us to make sure we don’t leave.
