Totals to reach your Private goal at this pace. Estimates use PilotBound's own completion-hours model, examiner-completion data where it exists and FAA minimums where it does not, applied to each school's published rates. They are PilotBound estimates, not the school's quote, and will differ from a school's own figures. How we estimate.

    Checked September 13, 2026·Source·5 aircraft published

    Every aircraft is published at a standard rate and a lower CLUB rate, roughly $10/hr apart, and the site does not say whether fuel is included. Birch Creek also sells whole-certificate packages rather than hourly instruction: a Private is quoted at $10,400 in the 172M or $8,800 in the 150F, an Instrument at $8,400, a Commercial at $4,725 or $3,550, a multi-engine add-on and CFI, CFII, MEI and a float rating each at their own price. A further aircraft appears at $375/hr standard and $365/hr club.

    Checked September 13, 2026·Source·2 aircraft published

    Both aircraft are published WET. A $300 annual membership takes the 172P down by $20/hr, so it pays for itself in fifteen hours. The site also quotes a dual-only special on a brand-new technically advanced aircraft, and that figure bundles the aircraft and the instructor together rather than pricing either.

Common questions about Anchorage flight schools

How much does flight school cost in Anchorage?
None of the 4 Anchorage schools we track publishes a complete rate card, so we do not estimate a figure rather than guess one. Each listing shows what the school does publish and the exact questions to ask when you call, checked September 13, 2026.
Which Anchorage airports have flight schools?
One field carries the listed schools: Merrill Field (MRI) with 2. A school that does not state its field on the pages we read is counted in Anchorage without one.

Estimates use the same method as every Alaska school page: PilotBound's own completion-hours model times each school's published rates, plus the one-time fees most quotes leave out. They are ours, not the schools' quotes, and we are not affiliated with the schools. How these estimates work·Disclaimer & removal policy
