Section 1What is published
Natchez Flight's own figures
Checked October 4, 2026 · Source
Flight instruction: $65/hr
Flight and ground instruction are both $65/hr, charged for the length of the reservation. Aircraft rental is billed separately by the hour at rates the site does not publish.
Section 2Discovery flight

Checked October 4, 2026
A one-hour experience: a ground lesson before the flight, then the flight.
Section 3Why there is no total
An estimate needs an aircraft rate.
A training total is hours multiplied by rates. With the airplanes unpriced there is nothing to multiply, and we will not fill the gap with a plausible number: every figure on this site carries a link that shows it today.
Aircraft rateMissing from their site
The airplane is the biggest line on a training bill.

Section 4Paying for it
Two ways to pay for it.
Win what you can first, then borrow only what is left. Neither figure assumes anything about you: one is what our scholarship directory holds, the other is what the lenders publish.

Section 5What to ask
What to ask when you call
The marked ones are what Natchez Flight's site never answers. The rest are what turns an hourly rate into a real bill.
What is the hourly rate on your cheapest trainer, and which airplane is that?Missing from their site
This is the number that is missing from the site, and it is the largest line on your bill.
Is that rate wet or dry, meaning does it include fuel?Missing from their site
A dry rate and a wet rate are not comparable. Dry rates can run $40 to $60 an hour lower for the same airplane.
What does each aircraft rent for per hour, and is fuel included?Missing from their site
The site says rental rates vary by aircraft and to contact the school for current rates.
Do you offer block rates or prepay discounts, and what is the refund policy if I stop partway?
Block discounts are common and rarely published. The refund terms matter more than the discount.
What do you charge for the written test, the checkride, and the examiner's fee?
The DPE fee alone runs $800 to $1,200 in most of the country and is almost never in a quoted hourly rate.
How many trainers and how many full-time instructors do you have right now?
Availability decides your pace, and pace decides your total more than the hourly rate does.
