  • At-Cost Service Delivery Model
    methodology: at_cost_service_delivery
    By providing flight training and aircraft access at cost through a not-for-profit structure, we increase long-term accessibility and participation in aviation, because financial barriers are a primary constraint to sustained engagement.
