Published rates
$120/hr aircraft (wet)+$60/hr instructor
Checked September 8, 2026·Source
Every aircraft is published WET and per tail on the fleet page. The instruction rate is not published directly: it comes from the Private Pilot cost table, where the solo line gives the aircraft alone at exactly the price the fleet page shows, the dual line sits $60 above it, and the ground line states $60 outright. One figure does not fit that pattern. The Instrument page prices dual in a Cessna 172 at $255/hr against a fleet rate of $190, implying $65 rather than $60, and it does not say which 172 it means, so confirm the instrument rate separately. A Redbird TD2 basic training device works out at $90/hr. Ground school is sold separately, $250 for the Private and $290 for the Instrument.

How these estimates work

We apply one consistent method to every school: PilotBound's own completion-hours model, examiner-completion data where it exists (like the Private and Commercial) and FAA minimums where no credible public data exists (like the Instrument and CFI), times that school's published aircraft and instructor rates (linked on every card, with the date we verified them), plus the one-time fees most quotes leave out. Holding the hours model identical across schools means the only thing that changes card to card is the school's actual rates.

So the number is PilotBound's estimate, not the school's quote, and it will differ from a school's own cost figures, which are often based on FAA-minimum hours. The schools do not set or endorse it.

These estimates are ours, not the schools' quotes, and we are not affiliated with the schools. A school can correct or remove its listing anytime. Disclaimer & removal policy.
