How current are these Miami flight school rates?
Every rate here is the school's own published figure, linked to its source and dated; the newest check in Miami is September 16, 2026, and each card and school page shows the exact date its rates were read.

A school can correct or remove its listing anytime.
Which Miami airports have flight schools?

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
