What is the cheapest flight school in Pembroke Pines?

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 Pembroke Pines flight school rates?
Every rate here is the school's own published figure, linked to its source and dated; the newest check in Pembroke Pines is September 12, 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 in Pembroke Pines is listed without an estimate because it does not publish a full rate card. A school can correct or remove its listing anytime.
Which Pembroke Pines airports have flight schools?
One field carries the listed schools: North Perry Airport (HWO) with 4. A school that does not state its field on the pages we read is counted in Pembroke Pines without one.

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
