Dragonfly Aviation

We started Dragonfly Aviation with one thing in mind… make flight training more affordable while maintaining a high level of safety. In recent years, prices in the aviation industry have skyrocketed! (Sorry about the pun). This is due to a number of factors; the big ones are insurance, fuel, maintenance costs, and the rise of technically advanced avionics (Glass Cockpit). Now, insurance we really can’t do anything about. As far as fuel goes, we chose the Diamond Eclipse for its fuel efficiency. Less gas burned per hour means the less we have to charge per hour for it. The Diamond Eclipse and Diamond Star are also very easy aircraft to maintain, equating to lower cost per hour. Technically advanced avionics are a whole other ball game. They are very expensive to acquire, very distracting to the primary student, and expensive to repair when things go wrong. For that reason both aircraft we chose have standard, tried and true, instruments. (Our instructors, however, are well versed in the operation of, and are able to train in, Technically Advanced Aircraft should you have your own.)  Our price for aircraft rental is what we quote. You will not be hit with a fuel surcharge fee at the end of your rental like some flight schools do, making it appear that their prices are more competitive than they really are. If fuel prices increase, then we will raise our price as needed. All this adds up to savings for the student and aircraft renter.  We offer short Introductory Flight Lessons in both our Diamond Eclipse ($59 + tax) and our Diamond Star ($99 + tax) that are a perfect way to come see our operation and confirm that we are your flight school of choice!  If you'd like more information on Flight Training or Aircraft Rental with Dragonfly Aviation, please give us a call at 678-506-1222, email us at info@dragonflyav.com, follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/DragonflyAv, or visit us on the web at www.DragonflyAv.com.  We look forward to speaking with you.
