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.

$152/hr aircraft·instructor rate not published
Checked September 13, 2026·Source·9 aircraft published
A rich per-tail wet fleet page (a Grumman AA-5 and a carbureted 172 at $152/hr with 10-hour block discounts, glass-cockpit and larger tails higher, a BATD simulator at $74/hr) and no instruction rate anywhere on it.
TFA Flight Academy
Part not statedDaytona Beach, FL·DAB·flytfa.us
$120/hr aircraft·instructor rate not published
Checked September 13, 2026·Source
The 152 carries a wet hourly rate on its fleet card. Everything else is sold as a package: a Multi or MEI course in a Cessna 310R at $9,999, CFI at $4,000, CFII at $1,500. Ground instruction is priced on a sliding hourly scale from $75 down to $67.50, with a $10/hr premium on CFI and multi-engine instruction, but flight instruction has no hourly figure of its own. International student pricing runs higher across the board.
Estimates use the same method as every Florida 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
