You pay the exact training cost — nothing more
The bottom line: our Custom Payment Plan lets you train without the complexity, cost, or requirements of third-party financing. It’s the simplest path from here to the cockpit.
SIMPLICITY BY DESIGN
Every aspect of our Custom Payment Plan was designed to eliminate the complexity, stress, and uncertainty of traditional financing. Here’s what makes it different.
NO CREDIT CHECK
No credit applications, no credit score requirements, no hard inquiries on your report. Your financial history does not determine your eligibility.
ZERO INTEREST
This is not a loan. There is no interest, no APR, no finance charges. You pay exactly the cost of your training — nothing more.
FIXED MONTHLY PAYMENTS
Same amount, same day, every month. Your total training cost is divided into equal monthly payments for the duration of your program. Completely predictable.
DIRECT WITH VWA
No third-party lender, no servicer, no middleman. Your payment plan is directly with Venture West Aviation. One relationship, one point of contact.
NO CO-SIGNER NEEDED
Unlike third-party aviation loans, our in-house payment plan does not require a co-signer. Your commitment to training is what matters to us.
PAID IN FULL AT GRADUATION
Your payments are structured so that by the time you complete your program, your training is fully paid for. No balance remaining, no post-training debt.
HOW IT WORKS
Getting started is straightforward. No lengthy applications, no credit committees, no waiting. Just a conversation, a plan, and a start date.
TALK TO ADMISSIONS
Start with a conversation. Our admissions team will walk you through your training program options, total costs, and what your monthly payment amount would be.
ENROLL & AGREE
Your program determines the cost and timeline. Your total training cost is divided into equal monthly payments — simple, transparent, no surprises. You sign a straightforward payment agreement.
START TRAINING
Once your agreement is signed, you begin training immediately. No waiting for loan approvals, no credit committee reviews, no delays.
FLY & PAY
Your fixed monthly payments begin on the first of the month when training starts. You focus on flying — we keep the financial side simple and predictable every month.
WHO THIS PLAN IS FOR

Every student’s financial situation is unique. If you’re unsure whether the Custom Payment Plan, Stratus Financial, or another option is right for you, our admissions team will help you compare and find the best fit.
WHAT YOUR PAYMENTS LOOK LIKE
Your exact monthly payment depends on your program and timeline. Here’s how the math works — simple division, nothing hidden.
AIRLINE PILOT ACADEMY
Formula: Total Program Cost ÷ Number of Months = Your Monthly Payment. That’s it. No origination fees, no service charges, no hidden costs.
CREDIT FOR PPL PROGRAM
Already have your PPL? Your accelerated timeline means fewer months of payments. Same simple formula — total cost divided by total months. Contact admissions for your specific quote.
* Exact monthly payment amounts vary by program. Contact admissions for details. All payment plans are subject to approval.
PAYMENT PLAN FAQ
How are my monthly payments calculated?
Your total program cost is divided evenly across the duration of your training program. For example, if your program runs 12 months, your total cost is divided into 12 equal monthly payments. Our admissions team will calculate your exact payment amount during your consultation.
When do payments start?
Payments begin on the first of the month when your training starts. If you enroll and begin training mid-month, your first payment is due the following first of the month.
Is there really zero interest?
Yes. This is an in-house payment plan, not a loan. There is no interest, no APR, no finance charges, and no origination fees. You pay the exact cost of your training — nothing more, nothing less.
Do I need a co-signer?
No. Unlike Stratus Financial or other third-party aviation lenders, our Custom Payment Plan does not require a co-signer. However, all payment plans are subject to approval by our admissions team.
What happens if I need to pause training?
If you need to pause your training for any reason, contact our admissions team immediately. Our goal is to keep you on track and help you complete your program.
Can I combine this with other financing options?
In some cases, yes. For example, you might use a partial Stratus Financial loan to cover a portion of your training and a Custom Payment Plan for the remainder. Contact our admissions team to discuss hybrid financing structures.
Is every student eligible for a Custom Payment Plan?
Custom Payment Plans are available at the discretion of Venture West Aviation and subject to approval during the admissions process. Contact our team to discuss your specific situation and find out if this option is right for you.
