What B.A.T. publishes
checked August 6, 2026Both 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 aeroplane for the Commercial.
Not published: the examiner's checkride fee. Listed as missing rather than guessed.

Common questions about Brouillette Aviation Training
- How much does it cost to get a private pilot license at Brouillette Aviation Training?
- Brouillette Aviation Training publishes $143 per hour for the Cessna 152 Aerobat and $75 per hour for instruction on it, checked August 6, 2026. Applied to those published rates, PilotBound estimates a private pilot certificate at about $17,021, in a range of $14,600 to $19,400. That covers roughly 72 hours of flying and instruction plus the one-time fees most quotes leave out, including the written test, the examiner's checkride fee, a medical, and study materials. It is a PilotBound estimate built on the school's published rates, not a quote from Brouillette Aviation Training.
- How long does it take to get a private pilot license at Brouillette Aviation Training?
- Flying twice a week, PilotBound estimates about 6 months at Brouillette Aviation Training to reach the private pilot checkride, at roughly 72 hours. Pace is the single biggest variable: flying once a week typically stretches the timeline and raises the total, because time between lessons gets spent re-learning. Weather, aircraft availability, and instructor turnover all push the same direction.
- Is Brouillette Aviation Training a Part 61 or Part 141 flight school?
- Brouillette Aviation Training does not state on its own website whether it trains under Part 61 or Part 141, so we do not list one. It is worth asking directly before you enroll: Part 141 follows an FAA-approved syllabus and is generally what VA benefits require, while Part 61 is more flexible on scheduling.
- Do Brouillette Aviation Training's aircraft rates include fuel?
- Brouillette Aviation Training publishes $143 per hour for the Cessna 152 Aerobat, a wet rate, so fuel is included in the hourly figure. A wet rate is the easier one to compare, because the number you see is the number you fly on. Rates checked August 6, 2026.
- What ratings can you train for at Brouillette Aviation Training?
- Brouillette Aviation Training trains Private Pilot and Instrument Rating. Instruction is $75 per hour across the ratings it teaches. PilotBound's estimator on this page prices any of these paths on Brouillette Aviation Training's own published rates.
