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.

    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.

    Every rate is a member rate, wet, at Millard. This is an ownership club: each member holds an equal share of the three airplanes, the share price is not published, and monthly dues are $135 on the membership page (the home page still says $90). A member who flies less than an hour in a month is charged a half-hour dry minimum in the cheapest airplane. The club offers primary training and publishes no instruction rate.

Estimates use the same method as every Nebraska school page: PilotBound's own completion-hours model times each school's published rates, plus the one-time fees most quotes leave out. They are ours, not the schools' quotes, and we are not affiliated with the schools. How these estimates work·Disclaimer & removal policy

Common questions about Omaha flight schools

How much does flight school cost in Omaha?

Athlos Aviation in Omaha is the one Omaha school here with a full published rate card: $120 per hour for its World Aircraft Sentinel LSA and $50 per hour for instruction, checked October 8, 2026. On those published rates, PilotBound estimates a private pilot certificate at about $13,915. That is a PilotBound estimate, not a quote from the school.

How current are these Omaha flight school rates?

Every rate here is the school's own published figure, linked to its source and dated; the newest check in Omaha is October 12, 2026, and each card and school page shows the exact date its rates were read. The directory is re-checked on a monthly cycle, and 3 more schools in Omaha are listed without an estimate because they do not publish a full rate card. A school can correct or remove its listing anytime.

Which Omaha airports have flight schools?

2 fields carry the listed schools: Eppley Airfield (OMA) with 2, and Millard Airport (MLE) with one. A school that does not state its field on the pages we read is counted in Omaha without one.
