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 published twice and both readings agree: the school's sport-pilot cost breakdown gives ground instruction at this rate outright, and subtracting its published solo rate from its published dual rate on the same aircraft gives the same figure. What is NOT published is the rate for the aircraft a Private student would actually fly. The only aircraft priced is the light-sport Vashon Ranger, at $135/hr solo, while the fleet page lists many Cessna 152s, 172s and a 182 without a price against any of them.

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
