Flight training at All American Aviation Services

THREE PRICES PER AEROPLANE, which is the most unusual rate table in this state: a wet rate, a dry rate and a separate lower TRAINING rate. The wet rate is recorded. What the training rate includes, and whether an instructor is inside it, is not stated anywhere.

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 does the TRAINING rate include, and does an instructor cost extra on top of it?Missing from their site

   Each aeroplane carries a wet rate, a dry rate and a training rate, and the training rate is the cheapest of the three, which only makes sense if it excludes something.

4. 4

   What is the instruction rate per hour?Missing from their site

   Four aeroplanes are priced three ways each and no instructor rate appears anywhere.

5. 5

   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.

6. 6

   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.

7. 7

   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 All American's rates. The middle of what 9 North Carolina 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. All American is not in it.

What we checked

Two bases, Fayetteville and Wilmington, recorded as one operator. Twelve published figures across four aeroplanes and not one of them is an instruction rate. Checked August 13, 2026.
