    The published rate sheet is stamped "Revised April, 2023", so confirm the current figures. The page does not say whether aircraft rates include fuel. Instructor rates are tiered by aircraft type (piston $80, turboprop $90, jet $100); this estimate uses the piston rate. An ELITE BATD simulator is $35 or $70 per hour depending on model.

On each school's own published rates, PilotBound estimates a private pilot certificate between $15,573 and $19,255, with a median of $17,414. These are PilotBound estimates built on published rates, not quotes from the schools.
What is the cheapest flight school in Georgetown?
Pilots Choice Aviation in Georgetown publishes the lowest trainer rental of the 2 Georgetown schools listed here, $139 per hour for its Piper PA-38-112 Tomahawk, a wet rate, so fuel is included in the hourly figure, checked September 10, 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 Georgetown flight school rates?
Every rate here is the school's own published figure, linked to its source and dated; the newest check in Georgetown is September 13, 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 Georgetown is listed without an estimate because it does not publish a full rate card. A school can correct or remove its listing anytime.
Which Georgetown airports have flight schools?
2 fields carry the listed schools: Georgetown Executive Airport at Johnny Gantt Field (GTU) with 2, and Liberty Municipal Airport (T78) with one. A school that does not state its field on the pages we read is counted in Georgetown 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
