Total cost estimate is meant to be used for informational purposes only and reflects the expenses most likely incurred during the training process.
Every person learns at a different pace. Some will be able to train more often, and others may not have as much time for practice and study. As a general rule, the more frequent the lessons, the sooner and less costly the certificate, rating or endorsement will be.

Endorsements
TAILWHEEL ENDORSEMENT
The FAA regulations require any pilot who operates an aircraft with a tail wheel to have obtained the proper ground and flight training in a tailwheel aircraft and receive a logbook endorsement from that instructor. EAS can provide this training upon request. Please give us a call.
COMPLEX ENDORSEMENT
The FAA regulations require any pilot who operates an aircraft with retractable landing gear and a constant speed propeller to have the proper ground and flight training accompanied by a log book endorsement to do so.
This typically requires 3-5 Hrs of dual instruction in an aircraft that meets a complex aircraft definition. This can be done in one day, depending on experience level, or spread out over a few days. As always, it's your choice.
HIGH PERFORMANCE ENDORSEMENT
The FAA regulations require any pilot who wishes to operate an aircraft with an engine rated at over 200 HP have the proper ground and flight training accompanied by a log book endorsement to do so. We would be glad to help you meet those needs anytime you are ready. Typically takes just a few hours to complete in a single afternoon.
