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.

    Checked October 12, 2026·Source

    Both rates are stated on the home page under one heading, and both aircraft are published WET. Instruction is the same $75/hr for flight and ground. The Cessna 152 is an Aerobat, so it is certificated for aerobatics, but it is still a two-seater and not the right aircraft for the Commercial.

    $225/hr aircraft (wet)·$85/hr instructor

    Checked October 8, 2026·Source

    East Coast Aero Club publishes NO rental rate: every aircraft on both its fleet pages reads "Call for current rate". The aircraft figure here is derived from the school's own Private Pilot cost table, whose solo, dual, ground and checkride lines all agree and whose implied instruction rate matches the $85/hr it publishes directly. Rates are wet with instruction charged separately. A senior instructor tier is $95/hr. The cost table also carries a cheaper column for a Warrior II and a C172N at an implied $225/hr, and neither aircraft appears on the current fleet pages, so it is not modeled. Ask for the current rate before budgeting.
