What flight training at TWO2FLY Aviation costs
Their published rates: $135/hr aircraft (wet) + $65/hr instructor·verified July 29, 2026 SourceSource 2
Both aircraft are quoted at $135/hr including fuel. Both are VFR only and one has no GPS, and the school says its Instrument course is still to be added, so instrument training is not currently priced here. Renters must carry their own insurance: $25,000 non-owned hull and $250,000 per-occurrence liability.

Common questions about TWO2FLY Aviation
- How much does it cost to get a private pilot license at TWO2FLY Aviation?
- TWO2FLY Aviation publishes $135 per hour for the Trainer with Garmin touchscreen GPS and $65 per hour for instruction on it, verified July 29, 2026. Applied to those published rates, PilotBound estimates a private pilot certificate at about $15,825, in a range of $13,600 to $18,000. That covers roughly 72 hours of flying and instruction plus the one-time fees most quotes leave out, including the written test, the examiner's checkride fee, a medical, and study materials. It is a PilotBound estimate built on the school's published rates, not a quote from TWO2FLY Aviation.
- How long does it take to get a private pilot license at TWO2FLY Aviation?
- Flying twice a week, PilotBound estimates about 6 months at TWO2FLY Aviation to reach the private pilot checkride, at roughly 72 hours. Pace is the single biggest variable: flying once a week typically stretches the timeline and raises the total, because time between lessons gets spent re-learning. Weather, aircraft availability, and instructor turnover all push the same direction.
- Is TWO2FLY Aviation a Part 61 or Part 141 flight school?
- TWO2FLY Aviation does not state on its own website whether it trains under Part 61 or Part 141, so we do not list one. It is worth asking directly before you enroll: Part 141 follows an FAA-approved syllabus and is generally what VA benefits require, while Part 61 is more flexible on scheduling.
- Do TWO2FLY Aviation's aircraft rates include fuel?
- TWO2FLY Aviation publishes $135 per hour for the Trainer with Garmin touchscreen GPS, a wet rate, so fuel is included in the hourly figure. A wet rate is the easier one to compare, because the number you see is the number you fly on. Rates verified July 29, 2026.
- What ratings can you train for at TWO2FLY Aviation?
- TWO2FLY Aviation trains Private Pilot and Commercial Pilot. Instruction is $65 per hour across the ratings it teaches. PilotBound's estimator on this page prices any of these paths on TWO2FLY Aviation's own published rates.
