Kuhn prices its SR20s WET and its SR22s DRY, so the two halves of this fleet are not comparable to each other. A Noble Flight Simulations Perspective Touch+ AATD is $100 per hour.
Section 2Why there is no total
An estimate needs an instructor rate.
A training total is hours multiplied by rates. With instruction unpriced there is nothing to multiply, and we will not fill the gap with a plausible number: every figure on this site carries a link that shows it today.
Instructor rateMissing from their site
Instruction is the second biggest line on a training bill, after the airplane.
What to compare their answer against
Not Kuhn's rates. The middle of what 14 Virginia schools charge, to hold your phone quote against.

Section 3Paying for it
Two ways to pay for it.
Win what you can first, then borrow only what is left. Neither figure assumes anything about you: one is what our scholarship directory holds, the other is what the lenders publish.

Section 4What to ask
What to ask when you call
The marked ones are what Kuhn's site never answers. The rest are what turns an hourly rate into a real bill.
What do you charge per hour for flight instruction, and is ground instruction billed at the same rate?Missing from their site
This is the number that is missing from the site. Ground is often billed separately and at a different rate.
Does the instructor rate change for the Instrument, Commercial, or CFI, or is it flat across everything?Missing from their site
Plenty of schools charge more for advanced instruction. A flat rate quoted for the Private can climb later.
What does instruction cost per hour, and is a Cirrus-standardised instructor priced above a standard CFI?Missing from their site
Fourteen Cirrus aeroplanes are priced to the tail and no instruction rate appears anywhere. Cirrus training is often taught by a CSIP at a higher rate.
On the SR22s, what does fuel add per hour?
The SR22 rates are dry while the SR20 rates are wet, so the published gap between them understates the real one.
Do you offer block rates or prepay discounts, and what is the refund policy if I stop partway?
Block discounts are common and rarely published. The refund terms matter more than the discount.
What do you charge for the written test, the checkride, and the examiner's fee?
The DPE fee alone runs $800 to $1,200 in most of the country and is almost never in a quoted hourly rate.
How many trainers and how many full-time instructors do you have right now?
Availability decides your pace, and pace decides your total more than the hourly rate does.
