What Makes Us Different

We’re not a third-party lender bolted onto a flight school. We are the flight school.

In-House & Aligned With You

US Flight Finance is owned and operated by US Flight Co. We built it because the existing aviation lenders simply weren’t good enough for our students. Because we’re on the same team, our only goal is getting you trained and flying, not maximizing loan fees.

Flexible Terms

A $10,000 down payment, 5-year repayment terms, and no prepayment penalties. We work around your situation instead of forcing you into a rigid box.

Built for Flight Training

Our financing is designed specifically around how flight training actually works: disbursed as you progress, tied to real milestones, and structured for the realities of becoming a professional pilot.

Faster Approval

No third-party underwriting maze. Many applicants get a decision the same day, so you can lock in your start date and begin training within days instead of weeks.

Who It’s For

US Flight Finance is the right fit for most of our students, especially anyone who wants a lender that actually understands the path to becoming a professional pilot.

  • Students who want a lender that genuinely understands flight training
  • Career changers funding a full Fast Track program ($94,995 + tax for Fast Track Airline)
  • Applicants with fair-to-good credit who want a fast, straightforward decision
  • Anyone who wants to keep an emergency reserve while financing the balance
  • Students who value working with the same team start to finish

Financing FAQ

Straight answers about US Flight Finance.

Why did US Flight Co create its own financing company?

We tried working with the existing aviation lenders and found their rates, approval timelines, and customer service weren’t good enough for our students. So we built US Flight Finance in-house: a lender that understands flight training because it lives inside a flight school.

What credit score do I need?

US Flight Finance typically approves applicants with scores around 650 and up. A co-signer can help if your credit is still building. The best way to know is to get pre-qualified. It won’t affect your score.

How much do I need for a down payment?

The down payment is $10,000 for qualified applicants. A larger down payment lowers your monthly payment and total interest, but we always recommend keeping an emergency reserve.

Are there prepayment penalties?

No. You can pay your loan off early at any time with no penalty, so you only pay interest for as long as you carry the balance.

How fast can I get approved?

Many applicants receive a decision the same day. Because underwriting is handled in-house, there’s no long third-party approval chain to wait on.

When do payments begin?

Repayment runs on a 5-year term and typically begins shortly after your loan is disbursed. Our admissions team will lay out your full schedule before you commit.
