Why choose the Standard Package?

This all-in-one bundle meets every requirement for your first lessons—whether you’re starting with a Discovery Flight or beginning full-time training. It’s designed to align with our syllabus and instructor expectations. Buying everything separately costs more and risks missing a key item.

Deluxe Package – $409.95 (Retail Value: $429.35)
 

Best for: Students ready to invest in higher-end gear, especially those expecting to fly often or pursue advanced ratings.

Includes everything in the Standard Package, plus:

• ASA HS-1A Headset (reliable, entry-level aviation headset)

• Sporty's Electronic E6B (easy-to-use flight computer with digital speed)

Why choose the Deluxe Package?

You’ll need a headset early in your training, and this one is comfortable, durable, and student-tested. The electronic E6B streamlines cross-country planning and is often allowed during FAA knowledge tests. This package eliminates future upgrades for most private pilot students and saves you over $100 compared to buying items individually.

Deluxe Pro Upgrade – Custom Add-on: ~$580

(Replaces HS-1A with Lightsped Sierra ANR headset)
Total Deluxe Pro Price: $969.00

For students who want the best headset available from day one.

The Lightspeed Sierra ANR Headset features active noise reduction, Bluetooth audio, and unmatched comfort for long flights or future commercial use. You’ll still get the Deluxe package’s full set of gear, but with a headset worthy of a lifetime of flying.

Custom order only – Contact us in advance to request this upgrade.

Save Money. Save Time. Be Ready.

Each Highlands Aero package is designed by instructors who fly and teach every day. We've selected the most trusted, FAA-compliant tools and bundled them at student-friendly prices to reduce stress and let you focus on flying, not shopping.
