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.
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.
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.
