Scope of Training
Define the type of instruction, aircraft, minimum and maximum hours, and specific maneuvers or endorsements included.
A written Flight Training Agreement reduces misunderstandings, sets clear expectations for lessons and aircraft use, and provides evidence of obligations for both parties. It helps protect the school from unpaid balances, documents safety- and regulatory-related responsibilities, and supports risk management and insurance processes.
Both commercial and recreational training contexts benefit from a signed agreement that documents commitments, protects stakeholders, and supports regulatory oversight.
