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.

    The rate sheet states Effective January 2023 on its face, so these figures are the school's current published card but were set three years before this check. These rates come from the school's cost sheet, which is stamped effective January 2023 and is the only place the site publishes a figure; the sheet itself says prices are subject to change without notice, so confirm them before budgeting. The sheet is laid out two-up and the duplicate half misprints the instruction rate and the Private checkride fee, which its own subtotals contradict. Rates are quoted against FAA minimums while the school notes the average Private takes 60 hours with 10 extra instruction hours. A King School ground curriculum is excluded from its totals. The school also flies a 1941 Boeing Stearman for tailwheel endorsements, unpriced, and offers a free flight in it on completing a training programme.

    Five x Five Flight does not say whether its published rates include fuel. This estimate uses the rate exactly as published, so ask before you budget: a dry rate adds roughly $30 to $60 per hour once fuel is on top.
