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.

SkyLabs sells full-time accelerated CLASSES billed against a deposit as well as part-time hourly training; the class prices are not published, so this estimate is built from the hourly figures only.

How current are these Santa Fe flight school rates?

A school can correct or remove its listing anytime.

Which Santa Fe airports have flight schools?
