The terms.

How this website and working with Settle Aviation actually operate. No trap doors, no fine print doing the real work.

Last updated August 10, 2026

The short version.

This site is marketing and general education, not flight instruction and not the FAA. Prices here are planning numbers. Nobody can promise you a certificate. Lessons get moved for weather and for safety, and that is never held against you.

What this website is

It describes flight instruction and aircraft ferry services and answers common questions about flight training. That makes it marketing and general education. It is not flight instruction itself, it is not an authoritative source on federal aviation regulations, and it is not legal, medical, or financial advice.

Regulations change and prices change. Nothing here overrides the current Federal Aviation Regulations, the Airman Certification Standards, an aircraft flight manual, or the instructor sitting beside you. Verify current requirements with the FAA or a qualified aviation professional before making decisions about training, certification, or flight operations.

Text messages and calls

The chat widget is the single place on this site where you can opt in to text messages. The contact forms do not collect phone numbers. Give your number in the widget, or call or text directly, and you are asking to be contacted about flight instruction. Replies may come by call or text to answer your question, quote you, and schedule or move appointments. These are conversational messages tied to your inquiry.

Message frequency varies with the conversation. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to end messages, HELP for assistance. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Consent is never a condition of buying any service, and your number is never sold or rented. Details are in the privacy policy.

Quotes, rates, and scheduling

Rates on this site are current at publication and meant for planning. Instruction is billed at the rate agreed before training begins. Aircraft rental is arranged with a separate FBO or flying club, priced by them rather than by me, and subject to their terms and availability.

Bookings are held in good faith on both sides. If you need to move a lesson, say so as early as you can. Flight instruction is weather dependent and safety dependent, so a lesson may be shortened, moved, or cancelled when conditions, aircraft airworthiness, or judgment require it. A cancellation made for safety reasons is never treated as a fault.

No guarantee of a certificate

Nobody can promise you a pilot certificate. Cost and hour figures on this site are typical ranges, not commitments. Your real time and cost depend on how often you fly, your prior experience, aircraft availability, weather, and your own progress. Certificates and ratings are issued by the FAA through a designated examiner, on their standards.

Using the site

Read it, print it, share it. Do not copy its text or images onto another commercial site, scrape it in bulk, try to break or overload it, or use it to send anything unlawful. The text, images, logo, and character artwork belong to Settle Aviation.

Links to other sites

Links to an FBO, a flying club, the FAA, or anyone else are a convenience. Those sites are outside my control, and their content, pricing, and handling of your information are their responsibility.

Limitation of liability

This website is provided as is. To the fullest extent Texas law allows, Settle Aviation is not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of this website or from reliance on general information published here. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited. This section is about the website and its content. It does not affect the duties a flight instructor owes a student during actual instruction.

Governing law

Texas law governs these terms, and any dispute is handled in the courts of Texas.

Changes

These terms may be updated. The current version always lives at this address with the date at the top. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated version.

Questions

Send them to [email protected] or call (806) 240-5310. See also the privacy policy.

That is the paperwork.

The rest of it is an airplane, a schedule that fits yours, and one instructor the whole way through. You will always talk to a real person, never a front desk.
