Every aircraft rate is DRY, so fuel is billed on top and none of these figures compares with a wet rate elsewhere without adding it. The whole fleet is light sport. The $50/hr instruction rate is stated in the school's Sport Pilot course announcement, which also offers the aircraft at 15% off in a 30-hour package; the standard Hobbs rate is used here. The site trains the Sport, Private, Instrument and Commercial certificates in these airplanes.
