After owning and operating a flight school for over 5 years I have come to realize that over 95% of all students use credit cards to pay for their flight training. 

Why use a credit card? Well, most banks right now aren’t even giving out loans.  Even if you have a decent credit score and good job, it’s still going to be a hassle trying to get approved for a bank loan. Most credit cards are very easy to get and offer an introductory rate of 0% APR for 6 to 15 months. That’s better than any loan you can get anywhere. Even if you’re a student with no credit or bad credit, there’s a credit card out there for you. If you do have bad credits then do a search for bad credit or no credit-credit cards.
