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.

Instruction is $50/hr for private students and discovery flights and $60/hr for everything beyond the Private and for simulator work. The fleet page states that discounted aircraft rates are available to students only but does not publish them, so a student may pay less than the figures here. The page does not say whether aircraft rates include fuel. The AATD simulator is dual-only. A discovery flight starts at $200/hr with a one-hour minimum, and a no-show costs $50.

- Across the 2 Burleson flight schools here that publish full rates, trainer rentals run $145 to $150 per hour and instruction $50 to $60 per hour, checked as recently as September 5, 2026. On each school's own published rates, PilotBound estimates a private pilot certificate between $16,005 and $16,075, with a median of $16,040. These are PilotBound estimates built on published rates, not quotes from the schools.
- What is the cheapest flight school in Burleson?
- Fort Worth Flight School in Burleson publishes the lowest trainer rental of the 2 Burleson schools listed here, $145 per hour for its Piper Cherokee 140, a rate that does not say whether fuel is included, checked September 5, 2026. The lowest hourly rate is not automatically the lowest total: instructor rates, fuel basis, and the hours you actually fly decide that, which is what the per-school estimates on this page hold constant.
- How current are these Burleson flight school rates?
- Every rate here is the school's own published figure, linked to its source and dated; the newest check in Burleson is September 5, 2026, and each card and school page shows the exact date its rates were read. The directory is re-checked on a monthly cycle, and one more school in Burleson is listed without an estimate because it does not publish a full rate card. A school can correct or remove its listing anytime.
- Which Burleson airports have flight schools?
- 2 fields carry the listed schools: Fort Worth Spinks Airport (FWS) with 2, and Wildcat Airport (46TE) with one. A school that does not state its field on the pages we read is counted in Burleson without one.
Estimates use the same method as every Texas school page: PilotBound's own completion-hours model times each school's published rates, plus the one-time fees most quotes leave out. They are ours, not the schools' quotes, and we are not affiliated with the schools. How these estimates work·Disclaimer & removal policy
