Their published rates: $143/hr aircraft (wet) + $75/hr instructor·verified July 1, 2026 Source
Rates shown are the non-block rate; a prepaid block account lowers each one (block rate noted per airplane). Listed rates include fuel and taxes, but a fuel surcharge currently applies on top (a per-gallon amount posted at the office, not online), so confirm the current surcharge. Some aircraft cost more under Part 141 ($160 to $170). Two locations: San Jose / Reid-Hillview (KRHV), which has the Twin Comanche, and Monterey (KMRY).
