Airplane Estimated Costs

Certain classes will have flight training and simulator fees attached that are quite expensive. Please read the attached Aviation Fees PDF file for an explanation of the process we will use for the 2009 Fall term. 

The program qualifies for federal financial aid and the GI Bill.

  • Contact Breana Sylwester in the COCC Financial Aid office, Phone: (541) 383-7410, Fax: (541) 383-7506, BSylwester@cocc.edu for assistance. 

  • Chapter 33 "New GI Bill" benefits will cover the cost of tuition, flight and simulator fees, $1000 per year for books, and a stipend equivalent to an E-5 with dependents. Contact Lynn McKoy, 541-383-7264, lmckoy@cocc.edu for advice and assistance with veterans benefits.
  • You will first apply for federal financial aid using the FAFSA form. When additional funds must be borrowed to pay for the program, there are commercial banks who will loan money to students enrolled in the program.  You may review that list by going to the Private Lender list.

Overview of Approximate Total Costs

The total cost of flight training varies from student to student based on individual ability and scheduling. We have made an approximation of those costs based on the average student requirements, and the fees listed below will be charged for certain courses.  Please read the Aviation Fees 2009-2010.pdf for specific policies and processes COCC will use.
