Flight training at Ignite Flight Academy

1. 1

   What do you charge per hour for flight instruction, and is ground instruction billed at the same rate?Missing from their site

   This is the number that is missing from the site. Ground is often billed separately and at a different rate.

2. 2

   Does the instructor rate change for the Instrument, Commercial, or CFI, or is it flat across everything?Missing from their site

   Plenty of schools charge more for advanced instruction. A flat rate quoted for the Private can climb later.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   What does the cheapest trainer rent for per hour, and what does instruction cost?Missing from their site

   Nothing on the site carries a price, and this is the largest training operation in Lincoln.

6. 6

   You mention Part 141 courses and Examining Authority. Which of my ratings would be 141, and does that change the hours or the price?

   Examining Authority means the school can conduct its own checkrides, which affects both cost and scheduling.

7. 7

   What twin do you use for the multi rating and what does it cost?

   Multi is advertised, and the twin is usually the single most expensive line in the whole path.

8. 8

   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.

9. 9

   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.

10. 10

    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.

What to compare their answer against

Not Ignite's rates. Nebraska has too few published rate cards for a state median, so this is all 271 schools we track, to hold your phone quote against.

From the schools here that publish full rate cards, the same sample behind the Flight Training Cost Report. Ignite is not in it.
