The freedom of spreading your wings! Rose will help you get your Private Pilot’s license in a jiffy, and without draining the wallet. Rose’s Private Pilot package is some of the lowest cost training in the country! Rose really wants you to learn how to fly and for you to be a licensed pilot. Imagine the places you could go, the people you could see, giving friends rides, the little airport next to your Aunt Sara’s house, the awesome view from above, no taking off your shoes/security lines, etc…the possibilities are endless! With the Private Pilot package, there is no limit on aircraft rental, fuel, and instructor time (ground and flight). Price includes progressive ground school, commercial insurance, and temporary Student membership to Compass Rose Aviation.
Why do Rose’s Private Pilot Package over traditional hour-by-hour training? Nationally, approximately 80% of Private Pilot students do not complete their training…that’s only 2 out of 10 students becoming a licensed pilot! At Compass Rose Aviation, we are turning this negative trend around. With our Private Pilot Package, we are consistently seeing 88% of our students actually finishing…that’s nearly 9 out of 10 becoming licensed pilots! Our package forces you to make the financial investment upfront eliminating the popular excuse to stop training. It is this investment and four month time restriction that motivates you to show up often and excel at learning the skills necessary to become a licensed pilot. Oh, by-the-way, 98% of our students pass their final checkride the first time…now that’s a number that is promising! Invest your time and money in a program that works!!!
Payment must be made before training. To encourage you to keep to your training, training must be accomplished in four (4) months. Training is to be accomplished in one of the Cessna 150s (contact Rose for training prices in her other aircraft). Personal training materials, headset (loaners available), testing, and examiner fees not included. Contact Rose to sign up for this wonderful training package and, if needed, to fill out a finance application. If Rose’s low cost package is still too much to swallow, feel free to contact Rose for instruction one hour at a time.
Note: Cessna 150s can be a challenge for some individuals who are tall and/or heavy. Please inquire if you fit this description.

Note: Our ATP training has been very popular with students from around the world. Out-of-the-area students are warned of the risk of issues that may arise which are out of our control. Airplane maintenance (yes they break) and weather (Kansas has a little) are two examples. Buying non-refundable/non-changeable airline tickets, rental cars, hotel rooms, etc. is a risk owned by the student. Also, not allowing enough time for delays is a risk owned by the student. Please consider the investment of refundable/changeable tickets or travel insurance when making your purchases and be flexible for those things we cannot control. Your understanding is greatly appreciated.
Don’t let weather slow you down. This is the license that allows you to use the aircraft’s instruments to guide you on your way. Contact Rose for a cost estimate.
Are you a little rusty on you Instrument skills? One of Rose’s instructors would be glad to get you on track. Contact Rose for a cost estimate.
So you want to fly airplanes with more than 200 horse power. For that extra punch, Rose has a Cessna 182 Skylane with the power to get your endorsement. Contact Rose for a cost estimate.
Have you seen those airplanes flying around without any wheels and the efficient variable pitch propeller? Experience what it is like to flip a switch and watch those wheels disappear. Rose has a Piper Arrow 201 with retractable gear, flaps, and a constant speed propeller. Don’t forget to put the wheels down when it is time to land! Contact Rose for a cost estimate.
Interested in flying aircraft with more than one engine? At Compass Rose, we’ve got you covered! Contact Rose for a cost estimate.
Want to teach others on the ground or in the air? Rose has you covered. Contact Rose for a cost estimate.

Stay current with this Federal Aviation Administration required flight review. For the purpose of increased safety, Compass Rose members are required to perform this training annually sometime during their birth month. Maybe this would be a good excuse to earn a new rating or learn to fly a plane you have never flown before. If never hurts to get more training! Contact Rose for a cost estimate.
Rose’s approved independent Instructors have agreed to beat popular area rates by only charging $50 per hour (ground and flight) for most levels of instruction ($60 for Multi-Engine training). These quality instructors are properly licensed with the Federal Aviation Administration. Instructor payments are made directly with the instructor.
In support of growing general aviation, Compass Rose Aviation will match dollar-for-dollar, money donated to the foundation to support one high school senior per year with a private pilot certificate. For the first $3,250 raised, Compass Rose Aviation will reward one local high school senior with Rose’s Private Pilot package. Don’t worry; the high school student will have to earn this privilege by winning a contest that is evaluated by Rose’s panel of judges. For additional donations above the initial $3,250 that add up to $6,500, another student will be given this wonderful opportunity. The number of students is endless and based on your giving spirit. Rose will work with all individuals, municipalities, and companies who would like to offer this training to a deserving young person. If you would like your donation to be anonymous, Rose knows how to keep quiet. To grow general aviation and give a young person the gift of flight through your generous donation, click here.
