What flight training at Centennial Aviation Academy costs

Common questions about Centennial Aviation Academy

How much does it cost to get a private pilot license at Centennial Aviation Academy?

Centennial Aviation Academy publishes $239 per hour for the Piper PA-28-151 Warrior and $99 per hour for instruction on it, checked August 16, 2026. Applied to those published rates, PilotBound estimates a private pilot certificate at about $25,325, in a range of $21,800 to $28,900. That covers roughly 72 hours of flying and instruction plus the one-time fees most quotes leave out, including the written test, the examiner's checkride fee, a medical, and study materials. It is a PilotBound estimate built on the school's published rates, not a quote from Centennial Aviation Academy.

How long does it take to get a private pilot license at Centennial Aviation Academy?

Flying twice a week, PilotBound estimates about 6 months at Centennial Aviation Academy to reach the private pilot checkride, at roughly 72 hours. Pace is the single biggest variable: flying once a week typically stretches the timeline and raises the total, because time between lessons gets spent re-learning. Weather, aircraft availability, and instructor turnover all push the same direction.

Is Centennial Aviation Academy a Part 61 or Part 141 flight school?

Centennial Aviation Academy does not state on its own website whether it trains under Part 61 or Part 141, so we do not list one. It is worth asking directly before you enroll: Part 141 follows an FAA-approved syllabus and is generally what VA benefits require, while Part 61 is more flexible on scheduling.

Do Centennial Aviation Academy's aircraft rates include fuel?

Centennial Aviation Academy publishes $239 per hour for the Piper PA-28-151 Warrior, a wet rate, so fuel is included in the hourly figure. A wet rate is the easier one to compare, because the number you see is the number you fly on. Rates checked August 16, 2026.

What ratings can you train for at Centennial Aviation Academy?

Centennial Aviation Academy trains Private Pilot, Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot and Multi-Engine (AMEL). Instruction is $99 per hour across the ratings it teaches. PilotBound's estimator on this page prices any of these paths on Centennial Aviation Academy's own published rates.
