Section 2Why there is no total

An estimate needs an aircraft rate and an instructor rate.

A training total is hours multiplied by rates. With the airplanes or instruction 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.

  • Instructor rateMissing from their site

    Instruction is the second biggest line on a training bill, after the airplane.

What to compare their answer against

Not Chennault's rates. The middle of what 10 Nevada schools charge, to hold your phone quote against.

Section 3Paying 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 4What to ask

What to ask when you call

The marked ones are what Chennault's site never answers. The rest are what turns an hourly rate into a real bill.

702-835-1222

  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. 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. 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. 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. What are your current hourly rates for each aircraft and for instruction?Missing from their site

    The school's own instrument page tells you to ring for exactly this. The published course totals are built on those rates, so you cannot check a total or compare it against another school without them.

  6. Does the quoted course total assume the Part 141 minimum hours, and what happens if I need more?

    The totals are labelled minimum costs and the Part 141 minimums are lower than Part 61 by design, 35 hours for the private and 195 for the commercial. The school's own private page says to budget several thousand above the minimum.

  7. Which of my ratings would be Part 141 and which Part 61?

    Chennault runs both and assigns students to one or the other depending on prior experience, training frequency and whether VA benefits or a university partnership is involved. It affects the hours you need.

  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. 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. 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.
