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.

What is the cheapest flight school at North Perry?
Dragon Flight Training Academy in Pembroke Pines publishes the lowest trainer rental of the 4 North Perry schools listed here, $150 per hour for its Liberty XL2, a wet rate, so fuel is included in the hourly figure, checked October 8, 2026. The lowest hourly rate is not automatically the lowest total: instructor rates, fuel basis, and the hours you actually fly decide that, which is what the per-school estimates on this page hold constant.
How current are these North Perry flight school rates?
Every rate here is the school's own published figure, linked to its source and dated; the newest check at North Perry is October 8, 2026, and each card and school page shows the exact date its rates were read. The directory is re-checked on a monthly cycle, and one more school at North Perry is listed without an estimate because it does not publish a full rate card. A school can correct or remove its listing anytime.
