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.

    Bird Dog publishes one wet aircraft rate rather than per-tail pricing. Its fleet page lists Cessna 172s and a Piper Warrior without individual rates. A separate all-inclusive LOFT career program is sold at a flat $80,000 and is not what this estimate prices.

    $195/hr aircraft (fuel basis not stated)·$95/hr instructor

    Checked October 8, 2026·Source

    The aircraft rate is published on the rental page and the instruction rate on the flight review page, where $95/hr covers ground instruction and flight instruction in a student's own aircraft. The school's own bundled one-hour lesson is $295, which is $5 more than those two figures add to, and it does not explain the difference; confirm the dual rate when you call. Every flight carries a one-hour minimum charge. Renting after the Private also requires a TB10 checkout, five hours in type and a renter's insurance policy.
