What is the cost of earning a Private Pilots Certificate?
The cost of learning to fly varies greatly from student to student, depending on many factors. As a general rule, students can figure that a typical lesson of ground instruction will cost $35/Hour, while a typical lesson of flight training will cost $40/hour plus the costs of the plane rental. Reaching the private pilot level requires a minimum of 40 hours. The national average is 60-75 hours of training before the students are qualified, so the total cost usually runs between $7,000 and $8,000. Unlike some other schools, we prefer to be up-front and honest concerning your investment.
