Flight training at FlyReno

A multi-engine-only Part 141 school: the Twin Comanche is $400/hr wet and the 310 $500/hr wet, multi-engine dual is $590/hr wet with instruction included, advanced ground $90/hr and simulator instruction $60/hr, plus a fixed-price multi add-on at $8,900 for up to 15 hours. No single-engine airplane and no separate instructor rate.

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 instructor's share of the $590 dual rate?Missing from their site

   The twin is priced wet solo and wet dual and the instructor is never priced alone.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   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.

6. 6

   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 FlyReno's rates. The middle of what 10 Nevada schools charge, to hold your phone quote against.

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