What You Actually Pay

Combined Rate Examples

Aircraft + CFI = your all-in hourly training cost. Here are the most common combinations.

Ground instruction is available at the standard CFI rate. Solo flight time (aircraft only, no CFI) is billed at the aircraft wet rate. Simulator solo sessions (after checkout) billed at $70/hr — no CFI required.

Program Pricing

Total program costs depend on the individual student — how quickly you progress, how many hours you need, and which aircraft and instructor level you fly with. We'll build a realistic estimate for your situation.
