How much will it cost for me to get a private pilots certificate at Frederick Flight Center?
There are many variables when considering cost. First, you must decide which type of aircraft you want to learn in. Most will use either the Cessna 172 or the Piper Archer III. Although some have trained in the somewhat more expensive Cessna 182, or the less expensive Cessna 152. The frequency of your lessons also makes a difference. You fly at your own pace, whatever feels comfortable for you. We recommend 2 – 3 times per week if that’s possible in your schedule (you’re likely to be rained-out from time-to-time anyhow). The average investment, spread out over the span of your training, works out to about $8,000 to $10,000 for a certificate that will last a lifetime. In addition to your flying and books, you will need to pay for a 3rd class medical certificate ($50-$100 see Q&A below) and your final flight test ( check-flight or check-ride ) with an FAA-designated examiner. Most students also purchase a headset, which can run anywhere from about $80 up to as much as $1,000 for the top
