How much does it cost to learn to fly and receive a Private Pilot certificate?
The same variables that affect the time to complete the private pilot instruction program (frequency of flight lessons, weather conditions, the kind of aircraft in which you are training and its availability for scheduling, and individual aptitude) also affect the cost of the training needed to earn your certificate. Given these variables a rough estimate of the cost of a private pilot certificate ranges between $6,000 and $8,000 (US dollars).
