Why Lehigh Acres students train with CORE

Why Lehigh Acres students train at Page Field

Page Field is a straight 15-mile run west on Colonial Boulevard, which makes a weekday three-hour block genuinely practical.

Training at a towered field means ATC communication and airspace discipline are part of your flying from hour one, rather than something to add later.

Pay-per-session pricing keeps startup costs low: a $175 Discovery Flight is the whole commitment until you decide to carry on.

Flight training for Lehigh Acres students

CORE is pay-per-session: the Cherokee 140 rents at $175/hr wet (fuel and maintenance included) and instruction is $60/hr. How often you fly is the biggest driver of your total.

  1. Private Pilot License

    Where most students begin — the certificate that lets you fly friends and family, and the foundation every rating after it is built on.

  2. Instrument Rating (IFR)

    The rating that turns a fair-weather pilot into an all-weather one — flying by reference to instruments, in the system, on a clearance.

  3. Commercial Pilot License (CPL)

    The certificate that lets you be paid to fly, and the step where precision stops being a goal and becomes a standard.
