They are PilotBound estimates, not the school's quote, and will differ from a school's own figures. How we estimate.

    Checked September 5, 2026·Source

    Aircraft rates are the solo column of the school's table; the dual column is $55/hr higher on every airplane, which matches the published $55/hr ground instruction rate, so $55 is carried as the instructor rate. The table does not say whether fuel is included. A simulator is $105/hr dual and $50/hr solo, and accelerated packages are offered.

    $175/hr aircraft (fuel basis not stated)+$60/hr instructor

    Checked September 10, 2026·Source

    Vegas Aviation publishes these as "starting at" rates and does not state whether fuel is included. Instruction is a flat $60/hr, billed on top of the aircraft rate, and the same figure covers ground, flight, single-engine and multi-engine. An AATD simulator is published at $75/hr and is not part of this estimate. The school publishes no complex single, so the commercial's ten complex-or-TAA hours are estimated at a regional average rather than a Vegas Aviation figure; its own commercial cost table does not itemize those hours either.

    $160/hr aircraft (fuel basis not stated)+$80/hr instructor

    Checked September 10, 2026·Source

    ChrisAir does not say whether its rates include fuel. Instruction is $80/hr in the two trainers and $100/hr in the tailwheel, aerobatic and helicopter fleet, which the school prices per aircraft. The Extra 300L, Decathlon and Husky are marked dual only and cannot be rented solo. A Bell 47G helicopter is published at $600/hr with $100/hr instruction; it is a different aircraft category and is not part of this estimate. The school also runs a $450 instrument ground school. Its own FAQ states the arithmetic used here: a $200 Cherokee plus an $80 instructor is about $280 for a lesson hour.
