No guarantee is made that a student will pass any FAA knowledge test, practical test, stage check, flight review, instrument proficiency check, insurance checkout, or other evaluation.
Student success depends on preparation, proficiency, aeronautical decision-making, attendance, study habits, aircraft availability, weather, and compliance with FAA requirements.

Southern Horizon Aviation Academy reserves the right to discontinue or reschedule training if a student is unprepared, unsafe, noncompliant, medically unfit, or otherwise unable to safely participate.

Southern Horizon Aviation Academy may cancel, delay, modify, or reschedule training when safety, weather, maintenance, or operational conditions require it.
Students understand that accelerated training requires flexibility and that exact completion dates cannot be guaranteed.
Pricing, deposits, course fees, hourly rates, aircraft rental rates, instructor rates, lodging costs, and other charges are subject to change.
Any quoted price applies only to the specific course, aircraft, training package, and terms listed in the written quote or invoice.
Additional training beyond the included course hours, if applicable, will be billed at the current applicable hourly rate.
Students are responsible for all charges associated with training, including but not limited to aircraft rental, instruction, ground instruction, supplies, FAA testing fees, examiner fees, travel expenses, lodging, and additional training as applicable.
Refund eligibility depends on the specific program, package, deposit agreement, and written terms provided at the time of enrollment.
Deposits may be non-refundable if used to reserve instructor time, aircraft availability, lodging, course materials, or training dates.
Any unused prepaid training funds may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Refunds, if approved, may be reduced by completed training, aircraft rental, instructor time, lodging costs, administrative fees, merchant processing fees, course materials, and other expenses already incurred.
Southern Horizon Aviation Academy reserves the right to cancel or discontinue training due to safety concerns, nonpayment, student misconduct, lack of preparedness, medical concerns, regulatory issues, or other reasonable cause.

When training in a student-owned or third-party aircraft, the student is responsible for ensuring the aircraft is airworthy, properly insured, legally operated, and equipped for the intended training.
Southern Horizon Aviation Academy and its instructors reserve the right to refuse training in any aircraft deemed unsafe, unairworthy, unsuitable, improperly equipped, or noncompliant with applicable requirements.
