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.

    Club rates. Membership is mandatory: the club's own FAQ answers "Can non-members rent your aircraft?" with "No." Joining is $800, then $200/year for years two to five, plus $115/month in dues less a $30 credit in any month you fly. A 30-day Introductory Membership is $300 and includes one hour with an instructor. Instruction is priced instructor by instructor rather than by the club, from $60/hr to $80/hr across twelve names, with backcountry instruction at $100/hr, so what you pay depends on who teaches you. A Redbird TD2 is $30/hr and a PilotEdge simulator $15/hr.
