Sky Rider - Managed Financing

Sky Rider manages our very popular, quick and affordable financing option for students and renters. We work with you to determine the total amount to be financed. As well as the duration of the financing, the optional down-payment and interest rate.

  • Interest rates range from 6% - 21.5%

(poor credit may affect these rates)

  • Financing duration from 0 months - 72 months

  • Application process time approximately 5-10 minutes

  • NO penalty for paying loan off early

  • NO additional hard credit checks for additional funds

  • Rates based on personal credit score and duration of loan.

  • May be used for pilot gear and equipment

  • You pay the same rate per hour financed. There is no added expense for purchasing a small block over a larger block of hours.

  • We recommend to finance only what you are comfortable with as purchases are non-refundable once made. Excess funds may be used for additional training, aircraft rental, gifts or gear.



Below are estimates based on the most common options used by Sky Rider students - no money down, 13% or 21.5% interest over 72 months.

(Note: 4-6% service charge may be applied to interest rates below 21.5%, ask for details)
