Billing Policy

As a professional flight instructor I feel it is important to manage client/instructor expectations from the beginning regarding billing practices. My billing practices follow a very open and common sense approach. As a general rule, I bill only during the time which the student and I are actively engaged in educational or pilot services, not time spent chatting. If the mission requires a waiting period, I will usually adjust my rate to an amount both the client and I agree upon. Many situations are unique and will require the client and myself to simply come to a mutual understanding. If there are any questions regarding these practices, please do not hesitate to contact me directly for further clarification.
